Hi I have three hermit crabs two are mine and one is my sisters they have lived for quite a while and they must be in 80degrees np. :)
Hermit crabs, along with other true crabs, belong to phylum Arthropoda, all of which are invertebrates. Because of their size and other factors, the need for a vertebral column is obviated by the function of their hard exoskeleton.
No! they need coconut husk bedding/ dirt, normal dirt has bacteria and the hermies dont have that kind in the wild, they live in the caribbean islands. You can also use sand.
you feed them every other day to them.
You need to keep food in their bowl and change daily. hermit crabs are scavengers so they eat fruit and veggies, so when you eat fruits or veggies take a little chunck off and put it in their bowl.
hermit crabs don't eat people. thank the lord! but they don't eat snacks like we eat. don't feed them chips or chocolate and any dessert. and please no sugar! we don't need any hyper hermit crabs!
Every three hours.
They don't die. Therefore you don't have to feed them ever if you don't want to.
Land crabs (most pets are) do need it while marine crabs like the ones you find at the beach do not.
Most crabs eat once or twice a week, depending on the size. A much larger crab would need to eat much more often, however.
hermit crabs need to live in 70-80 degree temprature
Crabs need shells because there abdomen is very soft and sensitive and the shell protects them.
