Hermi crabs are scavengers, so they eat anything they can find, like in the wild they will eat dead fish on the shore, climb trees to eat bugs, and fruit like mangos they have fallen off of trees.

In captivity hermit crabs can eat fruits, veggies, and sea food like shrimp.

"No they do not. I had 2 hermit crabs and they lived for 5 years in the coldest room in the house" well, it depends. they need it to be no colder than 72 degrees Fahrenheit and no warmer than 82. if you need a heater to do that, then yes.
