yes
Hermit Crabs do pinch! Actually i got pinched by mine earlier today. But it will not hurt you very very bad you just feel some sting. (If you are wondering hermit crabs don't transmit any diseases :) )
no we had over ten hermit crabs in one cage and they were all fine.:) since they are both different sizes you should keep an eye on them but you shouldn't worry because hermit crabs are very social animals.
NO!somepeople say you can give them food leftovers but you can't because it has iodized salt and spices which are harmful for crabbies.
Yes, you need to change it daily or every other day.
no, a land hermit crab is not supposed to eat the sponge unless they are in bad condition
Its the same person, and well it died. :(
1. Hermit crabs are able to go outside if the temperature is between 70*F and 90*F. 2. Hermit crabs like heat and humidity. 3. If you get more than 1 hermit crab then their shells need to all be the same sizes because if 1 hermit crab has a bigger shell than that crab will kill the smaller ones. 4. You need to keep a good eye on the crabs because if you let the crabs roam around on your floor while not looking they might get away and that would be a super bad problem. 5. And make sure that they have food and water in their cages every day. 6. Never put them in a bowl full of lots of water because then they will drown and do not ever put hermit crabs in chlorine. 7. And pay lots of attention to your hermit crabs.Love on them and make them feel good.
Don't do that! Hermit crabs may get out of their shell to change into a new shell or even get out to eat some lettuce or drink water from a water absorbed sponge. During that process who knows what the hamsters would do to the hermit crab. They're not meant to be in the same cage!
Nothing; All paint is bad for crabs, so don't buy those pretty painted shells for your hermit crabs or a crab in a painted shell. They are cruelly forced into the painted shell and are more likely to die when you bring them home. Also, they will eat the paint when it chips off and die.
