of course it needs sand
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!
Most likely a land hermit crab, but you should always check with the person that sold it to you.
A Hermit crab can live up to 100 years of age
They cannot live with a land hermit crab because land hermit crabs live out of water so the fish would die (as you know) if it is out of water.
yes
Yes because moon sand has many chemicles in it that are not yet introuduced to the crab. Something may happen to the hermit crab so it would be safe not to put the hermit crab in the moon sand, since scientist have not experimented it and found out for sure.
yes
The land hermit crab has a big claw and a small claw. The ocean hermit crab's claw's are the same size.
Yes Hermit Crabs can live in colored sand, some people have them live in pink sand like I did:)It is 100 percent safe to let your Hermit Crab live in colored sand:)No, they should not live in the colored sand purchased in pet stores. That colored sand, usually 'Calci-sand'isn't true sand but calcium carbonate and prolonged exposure to it by humans or pets is unhealthy. Whenwet it can harden and trap the hermit crab beneath the surface which will kill the crab. The ideal substrate for pet hermit crabs is a mixture of shredded coconut husk such as Eco Earth and clean "play sand" which can be found in some hardware stores and is used in children's sand boxes. The mixture should be dampened to "sand castle consistency", so that when you grab a handful of it, it holds it's shape but is not so wet that it is "drippy". Hermit crabs need to be able to tunnel in their substrate for protection from the elements (too hot, too cold, too dry) or to molt and they may remain in their tunnels for days or weeks at a time.
No.
Yes
No, it is not recommended to put live grass in a hermit crab cage as it may contain pesticides or other chemicals harmful to the crabs. Instead, you can use dried grasses or substrate options like coconut fiber or sand for their habitat.
