Where is a hermit crabs habitat?
If you are asking about a land hermit crab, their habitat is near the ocean, generally near a fresh water source. They live in the trees and forest around beaches, as well as the sand and rocks. They can travel a mile or more per day foraging for food. They require an extremely varied diet, so it is necessary for them to scavenge far and wide. Some are called "tree crabs" (Coenobita Clypeatus, or Purple Pincer crabs) as they spend a large part of their time up in trees. hermit crabs dig to bury themselves under the sand when they molt (shed their old exoskeleton).
How many hermit crabs is good to have in a 10 gallon tank?
It depends upon the size of the hermit crab. You can fit 5-7 small crabs in a 10 gallon tank but only 1 or 2 large crabs. The more room you leave for your crabs the happier and healthier they will be. be careful not to overcrowd your tank, cos the hermits can get stressed, and may leave their shell or crawl into a corner and sulk :) But probably two or three would be enough room
