No, not if they are like wood chips because then the hermit crab won't be able to dig underground to molt. i would use play sand or coconut fiber dirt, i would also use coco huck dirt, anything that a hermit crab can dig in.
Metal shavings are never good inside any transmission.
Yes you can. I have owned hermit crabs in the past and they do quite well living in a cage. It would be a good idea to take them out to let them have some exercise every so often.
newspaper is best on the bottom, make sure it is not the shiny magazine kind, and doesn't have colord pictures, a layer of sawdust, or wood shavings is good on top
i suggest to use chinchila sand and put it in a box or a plastic bowl note: dont keep the bowl in the cage for too long
try and pick it up. If it pinches you, then there's a good chance that it is not a good crab.
Yes, cypress shavings can be suitable bedding material for chicks as they provide good absorbency and are naturally aromatic, which may help deter pests. However, ensure that the shavings are dust-free and not treated with any chemicals. It's a good idea to provide a non-slip surface for young chicks to prevent leg issues.
Yes, they are. It is not a good idea to put them in a cage together. Yes, they are. It is not a good idea to put them in a cage together. Yes, they are.

Most any shavings, but avoid pine, cedar, and "fluffy" or "soft" bedding. You could even use shredded paper, but no newsprint or "shiny" paper. Really any shavings you could use for a gerbil or hamster.
yes i use to have one and we kept him in a tiny plastic cage but no netting on the edge make sure its safe though it probably depends on the crab. If it is a small crab you could put it in a plastick cage, but when it gets older and bigger you might want to change it. good luck!!
The baking soda will get into the hamster's fur. This isn't a good idea. There is no good reason to do something like this. If a hamster is healthy, and it's diet is proper and its surrounds are kept clean, it will keep itself clean. Forget the baking powder as far as applying it to the critter. If you want to put a bit in the bottom of the cage as an odor killer, have at it. Just be sure the shavings or cage litter you use cover it up.
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.
It would not ruin your in-sink erator. It would not be good for your drain, but if you only put some wood shavings in the disposal accidentally once, it would not ruin it.
