No! They love sand but you can only use coconut fiber or sand, i mix them together
probably not. but, you can always use your hermit crab as a guinnea pig for the rest of civilization wondering the same thing, then report back to us!
For the most part, yes. You can use the most expensive type which comes in small bags at about $7 per bag called calcisand or normal play sand like you would use in a child's sandbox. If you have a sick hermit crab that needs extra calcium however, you may consider calcisand because the crabs gain calcium from this type of sand. Otherwise, either is just as good for a regular land hermit crab.
I saw a hermit crab on the beach.
Hermit crabs use gills to breath.
yes, just make sure that no one catches u
A hermit crab.
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.
No, they can't dig down to molt. You have to use coconut fiber/ husk and/or sand, my tank have mostly coconut fiber and a corner of sand, which they love
hermit crabs use their claws to grab food
When ever a hermit crab grows out of its old shell it finds a new one to call home. There is no set amount of times a hermit crab will change its shells. The hermit crab will only change shells if it has grown to big for its original one. Otherwise, the hermit crab will not change shells. It all depends on the hermit crab's growth rate and size.
If you mean will it kill the crab, no. However the hermit crab probably won't be able to use most toys. Depending on what it is.
