Update: Molt

     I have moved Prada back into the main ten gallon tank and I could tell she was so happy, so was I. Having my hermies in two different tanks gave me a little bit more to worry about as far as food, humidity, and - sadly- mold/fungus. Yes, I have spotted some kind of growth in my tanks but it's okay I have quickly read up on it and know what I am doing wrong to fix it. See how here*
     Also, I took a peek at Chloe still underneath the driftwood. I know I probably shouldn't have but seeing her tiny face looking back at me made me so happy. She is moving around under there but has yet to remove the sand sealing the exits and step out for some food as far as I could tell. Hopefully soon she will come out in no time and Prada will have her buddy back soon. 
     I am playing with the idea of bringing new hermit crabs home if only because  "Two crabs do not make a colony. Go get him a friend, or better yet, two." as said on www.hermit-crabs.com We'll see. I really want a Strawberry crab ::sigh::, again we'll see. 


Until next time,

Prada pictures :)

Peeking out at me

Sitting in the water

Trying to right herself after falling over

Peeking some more

I could almost see her booty lol

Is that her little mouth I see?

::Sniff, sniff, sniff ::

She was investigating the cantaloupe

No luck

      I came home and sadly everyone is still in there little corner. "Maybe tomorrow" is all I can think but we'll see how long this goes on for. I was playing with the idea of placing Prada inside the main ten gallon so she could roam about, stretch her legs, and maybe Chloe will hear her/come up (?) and I will watch the entire time.I might try this over the weekend :) I also want to get some more pictures too, so hopefully I will soon.
I know this update was short and all but it's late and I'm so tired after work lol.

Until next time,

Update: Molt

     Today makes a week that Chloe has hidden herself underneath the driftwood and Prada was placed into the ISO tank. I still have not noticed any change in the main ten gallon but I have no idea what time she started as I was at work. Although time of day has nothing to do with it. Some hermit crabs take weeks (months for the larger ones) to finish a molt. However, I like to hope that when I get home tonight Chloe will be up, walking about and looking for her friend. I know Prada is having a hard time in the ISO tank by herself as I've noticed she hasn't been eating her food lately. 

     Do I really need the stress coat? Sure it has its advantages with removing the last traces of the "fresh molt" scent however in the wild hermit crabs don't have this to bathe in. I think I might just dip her in some water and see what happens lol. 

     Surely Chloe will be bigger then Prada now because of the molt and maybe that is why she chose a larger shell when she swapped out. I'm excited; I hope I am able to see her little eyes tonight, I miss my girl.

Update: Molting, Mall crabs, & Breeds

     It's been awhile since I've made a post but everything is the same for the time being. I still have yet to see Chloe's little eyes and Prada remains in the ISO tank however I am debating on returning her to the main tank even though I haven't bathed Chloe in the stress coat. Hmm, I'll figure it out. 
     On another note, I  went to my local mall again and saw the Hermit Crabs still there. This time I was smart enough to take a picture ("Boo" to painted shells).

     I was told that they sold Strawberry and Blueberry crabs. I've heard of Strawberry crabs but never Blueberry so this is something else I'll have to look into. This had me thinking of the breeds of my own little hermies. I know for a fact that Chloe is a Purple Pincher Crab, her largest claw giving that away. Prada however I'm not too sure. With her missing her largest claw and deeper coloring (red "feet") I believe she might be a different breed of all together.

Shopping/molt update

     I went shopping, ran into my local dollar store just to see if they had anything new and to my surprise I saw a lot of things I could use for my little crabs.

Cute little bowels I can use instead of the flat shells :) 

A doilie I can hang so they have something new to climb on.

A new fake plant, more leaves then the other one.

And last but not least, sea sponges!

     I was most happy about the sponges as I did need more of those. They say they're for paint but because it was a dollar I thought what the hell I'll buy them. After looking at them for really and feeling it under after I think it'll be fine :)

     I just wanted to share my finds with you all and show that even in the less likely of places you might be able to find something for your hermies~

   

     Chloe is still showing no signs of coming out but it is only day three. Her driftwood remains sealed up on both ends and Prada seems to miss her real home along with her buddy. I'm trying my hardest to show her attention every chance I get but with her shy personality it only seems like I'm scaring her :( This is probably why you should have more then two Hermit crabs plus an ISO tank that they actually molt in.

Until next time,

Pearl Popping~

Day Two Of Molt

     Day two of Chloe's molt and she is still deep under the sand with no movement seen - as to be expected. I'm guessing that it'll be about a week or so until I see her again.  Prada is still camping it out in the ISO tank inside her favorite hut which I brought over just for her. She moved around a bit in the night but I think she might miss Chloe. Sorry sweetie but its all for the best.

     I'm worrying about reintroducing them after Chloe is finished molting but I'll get to that when the time comes I guess. I will be giving her a quick bath (dip) in the stress coat* after she resurfaces to wash away the molt smell Prada may pick up on. If you haven't noticed I'm playing it really safe lol.

     I have planed a "photo shoot" of sorts for Prada tomorrow or later tonight so look out for more pictures; I'm excited :3

Until next time,

Pearl Popping~

Molting For Sure

     I came home from work and did my usual check up on my hermies and to my surprise Prada was walking around! As I continued to look for Chloe, my "energizer bunny", I noticed right away that her favorite piece of driftwood was sealed on one side by sand. Peeking over to other side I saw that it was exactly the same. Chloe must be molting under there and with Prada walking about so early (for her) I quickly decided to remove Prada and place her into the ISO tank for the time being. In my mind she probably smells Chloe and, yeah, I'd rather be safe then sorry.
     I should have kept Chloe in the ISO tank longer then I did the other night, that much I know for sure. But that's what this blog is all about: my mistakes and how I learn from them as well as what I am learning from outside sources too. So Prada and I will have some bonding time over the week or so Chloe will be molting if only because I don't want her to be lonely. I hope she is looking forward to it as much as I am.
     I need to purchase this Stress Coat* too. I'm sure I will be able to find it in my pet store so next time I go I'll keep my eyes out for it :3

Yup, Chloe has made herself very cozy in there

Until next time,
Pearl Popping~

Prada & Me~

     I never really get to see my little girl too much as Prada is always hiding and only comes out when its dark (I've noticed her time to play is roughly between three am to five am). So today, because I have a couple of hours before I have to run to work, I thought I'd have some bonding time with Prada. Of course I snapped some pictures :3 

She was slowly coming out for me and I was waiting patiently :3

There she is, looking so cute.

Here I was gently brushing her feet in some water to remove the sand but I never submerged her.

  

     Sorry about the pictures facing the wrong direction, I can't seem to figure out how to right it.I took many more but these were my favorite ones :) I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much I do. Also, just as a reminder: Prada is my crab who is missing her largest claw, I bought her that way from a pet store I shop at often. I'm assuming she was in a fight with another hermit crab.

Until next time,

Bathing your crabs

     There are a lot of people that say bathing your hermit crabs is unnecessary and possibly even harmful. There are almost as many people who say otherwise. Personally, I'm up in the air. I have bathed my crabs once when I first brought them home because a lot of the substrate from the pet store remained on their little feet. 
     I had also read on a website that "Hermit crabs that you just purchase from a pet store should be bathed, if to only get the grime off them and make them "smell the same" to the other hermit crabs. New molters should also receive a quick and gentle bath once they have emerged from their underground molting hide-outs. New molters retain a smell of shed exoskeleton and smell like a delicious treat to other hermit crabs. To prevent cannibalism, you bathe them and wash off this molting smell. Remember that your hermit crab cannot tolerate chlorine, so please be sure to dechlorinate the bath water. The temperature of the water should be about room temperature. For a really special hermie bath, put in a couple drops of Stress Coat®. Most people bathe their hermit crabs in dishes, mixing bowls and plastic containers. Take your hermit crab from his crabitat and try to get him to walk down your hand or arm into the bath water. If he won't then you can slowly lower him into the bath by himself. Set him at the bottom of the 'tub' so he is fully immersed. After a minute, take him out of the bath, whether he comes out of the shell or not. NEVER leave a hermit crab unattended in the bath, as bathing makes them very active and they might crawl out and possibly run away and get lost in your home. Drain the excess water from his shell and allow him to dry off. Some people have special 'playgrounds' for their crabs to exercise in while drying off. Their 'drying off area' can be a simple as a shoe box with a paper towel in it to absorb the excess moisture. Place your dried-off hermie back in his crabitat and sit back and watch. They are incredibly active after their bath time and love to explore!" and "If you keep the humidity level of the crabitat at the desired level (above 70% relative) then bathing is actually stressful to the crabs. This is not to say that hermit crabs should never be bathed. What they need is to be able to bathe themselves when they feel the need. You should provide them with dishes of dechlorinated water (both fresh water and salt water) deep enough that the water will flow into the crabs' shell when the crab climbs into the dish. That is approximately one full inch of depth for large crabs, and a half-inch or less for smaller hermies." 
      I continue to read where I find this: "IMPORTANT: ALWAYS PROVIDE A WAY FOR THE HERMIT CRABS TO CLIMB OUT OF THE POOL!  Add a snip of sponge, a shell or pebbles, but always, ALWAYS have something in the pool they can cling to if they are uneasy with being in the water or especially if smaller crabs tumble in by accident. Some species of hermit crabs are terrified of exposure to water."  Isn't that contradicting "How to bathe a crab"?  (highlighted in the same color above*) So after reading my favorite 'go to' site for hermit crabs I started looking for another. (Website here*)
      I have come to follow the 'no bathing rule' without even realizing it if only because when I looked up "bathing a hermit crab correctly" everyone was doing something different. I was told when I purchased my crabs that bathing was a must, now I know that this isn't so - number one rule for first time pet parents, of anything, do your research and don't always listen to the sale's person.  
     Here are some of the Youtube.com videos I have come across in my search:

     I do not normally follow Expert Village's advice but I watch the videos anyway lol. I have learned in a short period of time, before I had hermies, that they weren't always the best. Sorry, but its true! However every once in a while they are right :3

     Here the girl in the video shows us the full submersion bathing which I think can drown the the little crabs...  

     In this video I feel bad for the crabs, I think he's moving them around too much and stressing the little things out :(

     Anyway, there were a lot more videos I watched but this post is already pretty long so I'll just say one last thing, lol. As I've stated before, I did bathe my crabs once and I think I will again in the future but it isn't something I plan on doing very often. I think bathing your crab is optional and gives you time to bond with your little buddies. 

Until next time,

Not Sure...

     After about two hours in the ISO tank Chloe stopped all signs that she might molt. I noticed she had stopped digging completely and only walked around as if taking in her new environment (I could tell she didn't like it). With nothing to climb and only her favorite piece of wood reminding her of her real home she sat on top of it and watched me as if silently trying to will me into putting her back. As all parents (yes, even of pets) know those sad eyes always win. 

     Now Chloe is back in her tank with Prada, whom she sought out right away, and loving the second level. On top of that, after coming home from work and checking on the hydrometer (etc.) I see she has been digging again. All the levels are fine inside the crabitat so it can't be she finds it too cold or hot, not enough humidity or too much. Molting is all I can think of. Also, Chloe has been a little less active. Usually she's really all over the place, investigating everything and now sometimes I'm waking her up from a nap accidentally.

     Bottom line is I'll keep my eye on her and if I start seeing lethargic behaviors or cloudy eyes I will then place her into the ISO tank straight away. I don't need any cannibalistic crabs...

Until next time,

Pearl Popping~

Molting?

     I'm noticing Chloe is doing a lot of digging tonight, can this be a sign of molting? Well, yes. I already know that much thanks to Hermes (my first hermit crab) but this came out of no where. She isn't really a digger... actually I have never seen her dig before and she has been eating a lot. Her coloring isn't as bright as Prada's but she hasn't walked as if she lethargic. Either way I'm going to clean out the ISO tank I have and get it prepared.
     It'll be exciting if she does molt :3 I just wish Prada would as well so she can grow back her largest claw. It's okay, she will one of these day. I'll leave a link at the bottom that helped me understand the signs :) Alright, enough writing and more cleaning.

The Molting Miracle*

Climbing higher & higher

     I hate waking up five minutes before my alarm clock let alone two hours but this morning I had a surprise. There was Chloe, active as always, hanging upside down on the grate lid of the tank. She looked so happy and her antennas were just moving all around the place with each little careful step she took but I was the complete opposite. I was looking around the crabitat for what in the hell gave her the boost to get up there in the first place. Those fake plants, I realized after two minutes of trying to get my brain moving. All I could think of was how happy I was that I had taken out the towels. Now I'm on the hunt for clamps to secure the lid and keep my babies inside their tank, where I know its safe for them. I've heard so many stories of Hermit Crabs escaping from their crabitat - sure they were found alive later (most of the time) but my house stays cool until the summer time really hits. My crabs will freeze without the lamp and suffocate without the humidity.  

     Later in the day, while I was at work, I was still thinking about it because this will be the second night I've seen her hanging around above the "ground".

(Chloe) The first night

(Chloe) The second night

 Does this new behavior have something to do with the switched sand? I hope not but if so I'll add some more of the calcium sand into the play sand as I still have some. Perhaps I'm over thinking it and my new tank setup is better and allows her to act more like a hermit crab? I'm not sure...

     Prada was active last night as well, on a different note, however she stayed closer to the sand if not on it. I spotted her staring at me and grabbed my phone (I'm still on the hunt for a good picture of her) snapped a couple and left her be as she ran away from me. She is still shy but at least she's coming out of her hut - even though its mostly when the lights are off.

There she is~! :3

Play sand review & new tank setup

     After replacing the calcium sand with the play sand and watching the levels on humidity for the pass few hours I have to say it's working ^--^ The hydrometer is staying at the perfect 70%  or higher level and my crabs seem to really like the switch which makes it all the better. Chloe is moving around, as always, and Prada is investigating as well. I am currently trying to catch a picture of her with my phone lol. She's so shy and keeps running from me.

Prada

     Here is the only one she let me take before she went missing under the bridge. Oh, and after getting a much better look at both Prada and Chloe together, yes, Prada is indeed bigger then Chloe although not by much. I think I might how been seeing a few signs that she is looking for a new shell - or as my sister likes to call them, apartments lol. Since she hasn't changed yet I'm wondering if I should add more - maybe even larger ones?

     I also wanted to mention I gave them organic peanut butter and they really seem to like that as well. However I believe Chloe's favorite snake is that wood she likes to hang around. So I'm starting to notice what they like which is great. Prada prefers raisins, boiled eggs, bananas, and peanut butter. Chloe likes all that plus the seaweed I buy from my Chinese supermarket and, of course, the wood/bark she stays under. I haven't seen either of them eat the apple I put in nor the carrots but maybe they did and I never noticed.

new tank setup w/ play sand

     Besides the change in sand I also added a fake plant for them to climb on. I didn't get the chance to go to the pet store and buy the drift wood so I used what I had. I have already spotted Chloe hanging on it the night she discovered the soap dish and thought I might it more exciting if I added more. Hopefully Prada can get some fun out of it too.

Until next time,

Pearl Popping~

Painted Shells

     Here I was, shoe shopping at my local mall and spotted hermit crabs. Their everywhere I go now lol. I thought they might be Strawberry crabs ( and yes I do want one >.<) but sadly they had painted shells not to mention with Prada still missing a limb I don't want to introduce new crabs at this time.
     There was a large sign that stated the paint used was non-toxic and all that but I still don't like them. What's wrong with keeping things natural? It's bad enough these little guys were taken from their home now people are forcing them into shells that have Hello kitty and Batman painted on it. I've seen the video, okay. I'll never buy a crab with a painted shell unless they look like they really need help.
     On a different note, I still haven't taken the pictures yet of my own babies but I will soon and I'm getting ready to switch the sand out now as I write. I did get a picture of Chloe last night though~

Chloe

 It's still blurry but it was the best one at one o'clock in the morning :)

Until next time,

Play Sand

     I finally bought it, the play sand! Tomorrow I will  clean out the tank and replace the calcium sand with the play sand. I'm hoping this will make my humidity problems a thing of the past :) On top of that, I want to buy more driftwood and climbing items because I know they will enjoy it. I will take a picture of the newest tank setup as well. 

      I bought the play sand at Lowe's and it was fifty pounds for around four and change. That's a big difference between the six dollars I spent on five pounds for the calcium sand. I hope Chloe and Prada like the new change :3 Should I do the change in substrate slowly or is it okay to up and switch it?

     I'm so excited I want to do it now! First, however, I need a container of sorts to hold the rest of the play sand (sand is messy...) and I need to buy the wood. So tomorrow it is. Get ready, hermies~ Tomorrow is going to be fun. Photo shoots, tank changes, new food (?), and maybe some more shells :3 

Until next time,
Pearl Popping~ 

Late Night Stroll

     "I see you~!" Prada was out and about last night, tasting a bit of the boiled egg I place in their food dish yesterday. She seemed to like it which made me happy and Chloe ate a bit as well. They climbed around (as much as Prada could) and I tried to take a couple pictures but the lighting was horrible so I'm not going to post them up. I still hope to get great images tomorrow which I can't wait for :3 

     Chloe discovered the second level last night as well (soap dish). She explored it for some time, seemed to like it and I realized I needed to fix the burlap net so she could climb down safely. I hope to make a larger second level but first I would need to buy a larger tank such as a 20 gallon or more. I do plan to buy one soon because a 10 gallon just isn't going to cut it after they molt and grow. I can use the 10 gallon to separate my crabs when they are in fact molting. 

      Even though its May I find that my crabitat is staying on the cooler side. I have been using the heating lamp I purchased and it is working but when it's on I find the humidity falls which sucks. I tried the heating pad but the one I bought didn't stay onto the side on the tank and I returned it. I'll have to solve this issue fast. 

Until next time,

Poor Baby

     Prada came out of her hut for a couple of minutes to grab some food and water only to flip over multiple times before she gave up and returned "home". I feel so bad for her and keep the food/water close so she doesn't have to move that far. Chloe seems like she's giving Prada her space and enters the hut once a day to check up on her - or so I'd like to believe. Maybe she just wants to see if she's alone fully?

     As I've said in other posts, Prada is missing her large claw (possibly from a fight at the pet store) and I can tell how much hermit crabs truly rely on it. I can't wait till she molts and grows it back, I'm sure we'll both be happy.

     I wasn't able to take a picture, she seems like she stressed enough without my cameras in her little face, but I do plan to try and get some great shots of the two of them over the weekend :3 Wish me luck~

Until next time,

Pearl popping~

Changed Shells

     Chloe changed shells again~! They look the same but obviously they were different in some way to her. I was standing right there with my camera ready and waiting because it seemed like she was going to since this morning before I went to work but I was so busy fixing the lighting and stuff I missed it :( I'm so sad right now... 

     To make myself feel better I went on youtube.com and watched a different crab change shells. Yes, it's not the same as seeing your own crab "naked" but, you know, whatever. Hopefully, next time I'll see it first hand and get a good shot :3

Hermit Crab changing shells

All About The Heights

     One of the first things I learned about my new little buddies was that they love to climb. As such almost every hermit crab owner tries their hardest to stimulate their crabs to reach for the sky... or at least the next branch. I know I can add lots more to stimulate my babies and I will sometime very soon but for now we are just getting to know each other. This is my very first time owning Hermit Crabs and I'm trying my best to learn fast and understand their body language. I'm always nervous they might start a fight over shells or something, maybe that is why I keep adding new ones to the tank.
     Anywho, Chloe was very active last night - as always - and I could hear her shell knocking into the glass with every step she took. She ate she fresh food snack up and afterwards she continued to run around like she had appointments in every corner of the crabitat, all while I only got a glimpse of Prada stealing a raisin from the dish. I know crabs are all different but I hope one day Prada will be a little more active and maybe warm up to me.

Climbing on her favorite piece of wood :3

She spotted me lol

Shells and Stuff

     I was looking everywhere for shells; petsmart, petland, petco, and online. Gave in a bought a couple of them even though their selection was pretty sad. But when I walked into a craft store to grab a couple things I came across the fake flower section and spotted this cool net. I though I could make something for my crabs to climb on. Its a huge roll, 10 yards, and I'll have enough of it for the time to come.  (See the burlap roll here)  

     When I saw the burlap net I found the shells right next to it. A huge bag for $13. I made sure they were natural and hadn't be dyed, painted, or scented ( plus contained shell my crabs could use). They seemed fine so I thought,what the hell I'll give it a try. I boiled them first for about twenty minutes and let them cool then added some of them to the tank. I'm so happy I did buy the shells. Now I have more shells then I know what to do with them and more importantly my crabs are happy. What I can't use I'm saving for later to place on the beach, maybe someone else can use them :3

 (Sea shells)
 

Some of the shells I got from the large bag. This was about half way through when I had to switch the pot because it was too small. 

Chloe in her new shell standing next to her old one.

How small her first shell was and please don't mind my sad ass nails...

 Until next time,

Tank setup

     Here is my tank setup, although I have changed it around since this picture. I am still on the lookout for more items they can climb on such as sticks, driftwood and leafy plants. I know they sell it at the pet store I frequent but the prices are high for wood...come on, $30?

old tank setup

Also, I use calcium sand but am going to switch over to play sand if only because the calcium sand isn't very helpful with keeping the humidity inside my crabitat. 

Should I add more sand into the ten gallon tank as well? I have come across pictures where the tank is  practically filled with substrate but at the same time many have stated that this is unnecessary and a waste of bedding. My crabs are small, not tiny but small, compared to the medium hermies I have seen on the web and inside the pet store. I don't want to over do it. 

Why I don't use coconut fiber substrate? Easy, its made of coconut and that will attract all the nasty bugs I don't want around my babies.

     Here is my new tank setup, I like to change it around at least once every week - week and a half. It gives me the chance to clean up really good and remove food Prada likes to hide under the sand. 

New tank setup

Why are their towels on top of the tank? As I have stated before, I'm having extreme difficulty with the humidity thanks to the mixture of calcium sand and maybe placement of the crabitat in my bedroom. As you can see the sun does hit the tank which I was fine with on the cooler days but now that its getting hotter I have been using moist towels and it's been making a huge difference. I do plan to move them soon though.

Inside tank on the left

You'll notice I placed the burlap net going towards the upper level I made. That is just a soap dish connected to the glass with suction cups and some more shells up there. I used a little bit of fabric to cover the opening at the bottom of of the soap dish and covered that with the calcium sand. How I got the net to stay in place? Easy, I used these little Command hooks ( see them here ), you can actually see one in the picture above in the top left corner. You can also see their food (both fresh and commercial) as well of the water. 

Inside tank on the right

I placed small rocks inside the salt water bowel as well as a sea sponge because I think it might have been a little too deep. Should I have a sponge in both the fresh water and salt water? I wonder if it'll help with humidity...

until next time,

Pearl Popping~

Chloe and Prada

     Let's be honest, hermit crabs aren't the best picture takers. My little girls are scared to death of my phone let alone my camera. How some people are able to get such great shots is beyond me but I tried my hardest.

Chloe

Chloe is my smallest crab... or I think she is. Since she has moved out of this shell into a much larger one she looks about the same size as Prada now. She hasn't molted with me yet, I've only had her for about five days now, only swapped out shell. She is very active; I have yet to see her sleep and she's always climbing over everything in the crabitat. Chloe is my guinea pig when I place new items for them to play on inside the tank only because she is the first to notice :3

Prada

Prada is completely opposite of Chloe, she is quite and shy. She likes to stay inside her hut and only comes out to grab a raisin or two before running back to her corner (that is why I placed her on a towel to get her picture). She hasn't switched shells yet and it doesn't seem like she's looking either, which is fine.

I'm always looking in on her because I'm hoping she does molt soon. I believe she was in a fight at the pet store as she is missing her largest claw and has trouble climbing when she actually takes the time to do so. This makes me a little uneasy and I'm constantly looking out for her and hoping Chloe isn't trying to fight with her. After stopping countless fights with Hermes and Chloe I'm on edge, however I was told that since I bought them at the same time from the same pet store this would be highly unlikely - I'm crossing my fingers in hope that this is true.  

Close up of Prada

    I hope to one day add to their little clan :3

Why a blog?

     Never in all my life would I have thought that I would own a crab, two on top of it. But now that they are here I'm sure they're not going anywhere. I have two small crabs at the moment, Chloe and Prada: named for their shells and my sisters love of fashion. I did have another before these two, however, named Hermes but he was a fighter and so after placing a question on Yahoo!answers I thought it best to take the advice given to me and return him to my local pet store. After peace was returned to ten gallon crabitat I realized that as much as I hear Hermit Crabs are an "easy pet" it's not completely true. 

     

     I am always searching up new things for my little roommates (diet, substrate, shells, etc.) and wish I had someone to ask directly. Thus my Hermie Diaries blog was born. 

    

     Plus, it'll be nice to have a spot where I can show off my crabs and see other peoples as well :3

Until next time,
