What they do is simple. They eat, drink, sleep, and play! (They go to the bathroom, too, of course!) They climb all over wood and fun play toys found in a local pet store. They love to dig, too, and can bury themselves. I recommend not disturbing the animal while underground, for they may be molting. That's when they shed their outer layer of "skin," known as the exoskeleton, which is actually the outer skeleton of the crab. Without toys, hermit crabs like to hide, or sleep. Providing a dark, hiding spot is important. They like to hide away in small areas to rest. Some hermit crabs spend all day picking at water droplets on the side of the aquarium tank, which you should have. The tank and hermit crabs must be misted with water at least once a day. Without 80% humidity, the crabs may dry out and die.

To keep a hermit crab you need to give them care and give them anything that you would want. Give them a cage and give them water in a bowl( flat so they can get out!! they can drowned) . also give them food they eat any thing for example: potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, and anything really. so there you have it!! oh1 and give them rocks they like to bury them selves in the rocks ( small pebbles!!)

when you get a hermit crab, you want to give it a house,or a Hermi Hut. The hermi muts are made up of half a coconut and usualy painted. you should be able to get one at a pet store.
