yes, we went to the fish market and my son wanted one, not to eat but to put in the aquarium. Well it's a few weeks later and she is still alive AND about to have babies, well, she has the eggs, we'll see what happens!!
In order to keep a blue crab as a pet you need to put it in a large tank and breed it.You can feed it any kind of meat such as:pork,chicken,beef,etc. which makes it very easy to feed.Dont put them in with other fish because when the fish go to sleep they fall to the bottom of the tank and the crab will try to eat them while there sleeping
While it is never a good idea to bring crabs home from the beach, all hermit crabs are wild because they cannot be bred in captivity. So in essence, the hermit crab you buy at the petstore IS a wild crab as all hermit crabs are wild harvested.
Yes, but usually people have Land Hermit Crabs as pets.

crabs are scavengers in the wild. I am assuming it is a hermit crab you are asking about. There are a number of crab foods you can find at your local petstore.
Hermit Crab
You need to be more specific in what type of blue crab you are referring to. There are at least three different species of crab commonly known as blue crab.Atlantic Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus)Blue Crab (Portunus pelgaicus)Japanese Blue Crab (Portunus trituberculatus)
The size of ya mam
the blue crab is eaten by us and other blue crabs
Neither. It is not a vertebrate, so it cannot be either. A crab is a crustacean.
click on your pet if it is in your house you will see a blue sponge click it and keep on clicking on your pet to wash it
Get hermit crab food from the pet store.
Sand, or fine gravel on the bottom of an aquarium, or a screen cage is ideal. You need to keep the cage temperature at least at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity level is best a 70%. The habitat for you hermit crab should have a moist warm feel, this will keep the gills of the hermit crab in check. Keep a spray bottle of fresh water handy and periodically spray your hermit crab habitat with it.
