Yes they are scavengers. When you get a hermit crab at a pet shop, they order them from the beach or wild. Since they can't really find food that you feed them in your home, they get used to eating just about anything. That is why you don't get hermit crabs with painted shells because they are scavengers and they will eat anything.Even the paint chips that fall off of their shells.Trust me, I have 5 hermit crabs and I am getting 4 more this weekend so I will have 9.Go to thecrabisland.com for more information and i am happy to help.
