We are dedicated to the optimization of the "crabitat" and the treatment of hermit crab ailments.

 

The Crabitat

By gathering information from questionnaires, we are able to statistically figure out what may correlate to hermit crab illnesses. This will pave the way for evidence-based preventative care.

The process is two sided involving both the crabitat settings of healthy crabs and that of sick crabs. Comparing the two may reveal differences that open up the keys to successful crabbing.

Treating Sick Crabbies

CrabDr is also interested in finding the safety and efficacy of hermit crab treatments. By collecting information from case studies and clinical trials, we will be able to see what works and what does not. This will help improve emergency care.

Species Specific Care

We are also using the forms to figure out any differences between species to optimize their individual care.

Your Input

Our questionnaires have been designed to be both in depth and quick to complete. This is accomplished by formatting most of the response options as "select boxes" to save the client's time and including a comment box at the end of each section to allow for explanations. 

All of the form submissions are manually read and filled at this time, but a computerized version may be possible when the funds are available.

Filling out a form saves the client time by laying out all of the pertinent questions in one spot and by returning a detailed response regarding the hermit crab's problem. In return it helps us come closer to our goals by contributing to the database. 

Thank you for your time
