| 21 Sep 2024: The Forums have been updated to phpBB 3.3.13. I hope this rectifies the unusual activity detected several days ago. |
| 18 Sep 2024: There has been some unusual high volume traffic to the Forums causing it to crash. I don't think the volume is actual real crabbers. As a result, I have temporarily disabled the Forums so that I can investigate this issue further. |

| In a society where owners are often asked "Are they tasty?", land hermit crabs are one of the most unfortunate animals commonly kept as pets. They are usually marketed as 'low maintenance' by people who are accustomed to removing dead unsold hermit crabs from their tank several times a month. Hermit Crab Paradise aims to make life in captivity for the land crustaceans more comfortable and enjoyable. The key to keeping hermit crabs healthy and alive is to prepare them for successful moults. Crabbers must not underestimate any of the numerous requirements that hermit crabs demand to survive such a life-threatening process. |
| There are very few published studies about land hermit crabs; none which focus on keeping them as pets. The care information provided by Hermit Crab Paradise has been compiled through case studies, science journals or trial and error by experienced crabbers including Carol Ormes, Kerie (Julia_Crab), Marie (ladybug15057), Stacy (Daethian), Sue (RFCrabs), Vanessa Pike-Russell and Vicki O'Donnell (vckums), who share their care advice with good intentions. |
