You have to be careful when feeding your hermit crab leaves of any kind.
Please do make sure when collecting any plant material from outside that it has never been exposed to pesticides or artificial fertilizers that contain pesticides. Hermit crabs are closely related to insects, and can be made sick by ingesting toxins meant to kill insects.
If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
If your crab is has bin living land for any period of time, it's a land crab.If your crab is has bin living in the sea for any period of time, it's a sea crab.(:
The crabs Can be any size
I actually did get pinched by a hermit crab earlier today. I did not do anything . You probably felt a little sting but you do not have to do anything. (to prevent any pinches keep your hand flat as you can when you hold your hermit crab)
yes a crab
Advantages: With a shell, the hermit crab is safer from predators, or any other threats. It is basically more protected. The snails have less shells lying around because a hermit crab is probably constantly looking for a new one. Disadvantages: The snail's shell is heavy on the hermit crab's back, so it slows it down. A hermit crab outgrows its shell and will have to find a new one soon. The snail has no disadvantages. I hope I helped you! Sorry if this isn't what you were looking for! :)
Buy it a new shell any kind no shells right out of the beach . Because it needs itsshell . It cant survive with out one.
She will drop them in water of any depth but there is no way for the average hobbiest hermit crab keeper to keep them alive, so it's a bit of a moot point.
I doubt it. But look at some labels.
petsmart and any other pet stores that are pet assured.
Well for the safety of your hermit crabs i would use the basic rule of 1gallon of tank space per hermit crab..... so you could get any size you want.... but lets say you had a 10gallon tank so you could have 10 hermit crabs in the same tank.
A hermit crabs abdoman is long and soft. They insert it into the shell, and wrap it around the inside. They can change out of it any time they want.
