I wouldn't reccommmend a heating pad for a hermit crab, but would you like to know what does keep them warm and cozy? Just put their cage on top of the drying machine! I do it for my crab, and he has lived for a very long time. The heat rises into their habitat creating a climate very similar to their habitat in the wild.

Do hermit crabs need a heat rock?

While hermit crabs do need heat, a heat rock is not a very good solution. Hermit Crabs can and will overheat themselves on a heat rock. A heat rock can get up to 100+ degrees, which is WAY to hot for a hermit crab. A better solution is to use an under tank heater pad, and mount it on the side of the tank. 2 small pads covering a corner is even better. You should make sure and have a cool side and warm side for your hermit crabs. Maintain about 80 degrees f on the warm side, and about 70 degrees f on the cool side and your hermit crab should be just fine. Keep the humidity at above 75% as well.


How long do hermit crabs need light?

Hermit crabs do need a night and day cycle to their lives to remain healthy. If one cannot provide a natural light during the day, one should invest in a light fixture. As for the night cycle one is not needed, but if one needs the extra warmth in the crabitat, one would use a moon glow bulb with a rare phosphorus coating to simulate the moon.

Grinding noise when braking firmly Pads and rotors are good bearings seem good as well?

The cause is glazed brake pads. The brake pad surface can become hard from over heating. An over heating condition can be introduced by frequent hard braking or long braking down steep hills. The fix is to remove the pads and sand off the glazed pad surface with a medium grit sand paper on a flat surface. Rotation of the pads (inner to outer rotor) is recommended if possible.
