What happens if you feed a hermit crab human food?
Well, it probably won't harm them if the food does not have preservatives or spices because they can eat just about anything. My little sister's hermit crab survived a month in the wild when we accidentally thought it was dead and buried it. A month later we found it alive in our front yard so a hermit crab can survive a long time on just about any food. I would recommend getting it crab food soon though because that is what they prefer.

It's generally not advisable to keep hermit crabs with tiger barbs. Tiger barbs are active, sometimes aggressive fish that may stress or harm the hermit crab. Additionally, hermit crabs require brackish or marine environments, while tiger barbs thrive in freshwater, making their habitat needs incompatible. For the well-being of both species, it's best to keep them in separate environments.

Moon crabs and hermit crabs have different habitat requirements and behaviors, making them generally incompatible as tank mates. Moon crabs thrive in brackish environments and require a more terrestrial setup, while hermit crabs prefer saltwater and a sandy substrate. Additionally, moon crabs can be more aggressive, which could lead to stress or harm for the more docile hermit crabs. Therefore, it is best to keep them in separate environments to ensure their well-being.

What should you do when your hermit crab is molting?
The best thing to do is leave it alone. Make sure you have at least 3 inches of substrate (sand; coconut bedding; etc.) to molt/also known as shedding it's outer skin. Once your hermit crab is finished molting do NOT remove it's previous exoskeleton. Hermit crabs eat their old exoskeleton so their new exoskeleton will harden. Make sure your hermit crab is in an isolated tank (meaning there are no other crabs in the tank) during the molting process. Once your hermit crab has finished the entire molting process, let him rest for a while in the isolated tank and when it's up and moving again you can put your hermit crab back into its normal page
How do hermit crabs urinate?
Hermit crabs do not 'go to the bathroom'. In other words hermit crabs DO NOT POO. I have had hermit crabs, and I know they definitely don't poo. Hermit crabs use all the energy and nutrients from their food and turn it into vitamins for the body. Hermit crabs are great pets, as there is no stinky poo to clean out!!!
