no, unless you have a water type hermit crab.if you don't you crab and crayfish can die.ps: yor crab will drown and plus if you do have a water type hermit crab will mistake your crayfish for food.:)
A cage?!?!? Hermit crab abuse!! You need to first of all know what your doing. They need a tank and dissilled water. Hermies also need humitity to breathe. You need to Google how to care for hermitcrabs.
It would not be recommended to keep a hermit crab in a mouse cage. Hermit crabs require humidity and sand/soil to dig into.
depends on if theres a girl and a boy in the same group
Yes they are scavengers and can eat veggies and fruit, and meat unseasoned and slightly cooked.
that would be a very bad idea it has arm and hammer in it usually witch is not good for them i would suggest calci sand
Large rocks can be fun to dig under and climb over but gravel should be avoided as it is not a suitable substrate for hermit crabs. Instead use coconut fiber bedding or sand.
no they can't metal is very bad for them.
yes
The land hermit crab has a big claw and a small claw. The ocean hermit crab's claw's are the same size.
They are shellfish, they have an exoskeleton.
Yes, hermit crabs don't usually fight. You could give the new hermit crab a bath so that it smells the same as the other hermit crab in you tank.
If your land hermit crab's shell gets to small get a new shell. The shell hole should be the same size as your crab's big claw or bigger Make sure your crab's new shell is clean. DO NOT FORCE YOU CRAB TO COME OUT! All you have to do is set your crab's new shell in it's cage and wait.
They both are crabs right?
Hermit crabs are invertebrates. They are arthropods and thus within the same phylum as insects, but they are crustaceans and NOT insects. Hermit Crab Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Crustacea Class: Malacostraca Order:Decapoda Superfamiliy: Paguroidea
You should put distilled water and and sea salt water in your crab's tank. It shouldn't be deep enough for the crab to submerge itself in, but they have to be able to get out or they can drown. Hermit crabs need distilled water because the clorine in tap water burns their modified gills and sofacates them, same with table salt. use SEA salt.
probably not. but, you can always use your hermit crab as a guinnea pig for the rest of civilization wondering the same thing, then report back to us!
Congratulations! No need to rename it. It's the same hermit crab. It molted it's old skin! This means your hermit crab is perfectly healthy and can grow! Make sure you have a slightly bigger shell though. Leave it alone until it walks around and is very healthy.
Hermit crabs don't have a regular size because they grow, they don't stay the same size.
nope its impossible but if u dont want ur house then u can
