Yes, you can put sticks in a hermit crab's cage, as they can provide enrichment and mimic a natural environment. Ensure that the sticks are safe, untreated, and free from pesticides or chemicals. Branches from non-toxic trees like apple or willow can be suitable choices. Just be sure to regularly clean and inspect them for mold or decay.
No, for the substrate you can have coconut fiber. I have half of that and sand.
No, it is not recommended to put live grass in a hermit crab cage as it may contain pesticides or other chemicals harmful to the crabs. Instead, you can use dried grasses or substrate options like coconut fiber or sand for their habitat.
no we had over ten hermit crabs in one cage and they were all fine.:) since they are both different sizes you should keep an eye on them but you shouldn't worry because hermit crabs are very social animals.
hermit crabs are very pickey about there new domane or house put more than one shell in the cage.:)
They will not move around to much and pertend to die for you to get their attention for a little bit
Sand or rocks are best.But, many crabs like coconut fiber. you can find it at most pet stores.
No hermit crabs need high humidity (70-85%)
Hermit Crabs like Humidity. They need 70-80% humidity to survive. But, if it like 100 degrees and no humidity i recommend to put a fan or air conditioner on then, or in their cage.
Plain popcorn, i put a few pieces of plain popcorn in my 2 hermit crabs cage right before i went to bed at 10:30 at 6:00 am the next morning every single piece of pop was gone. and i only had 2 crabs!! ( do give your crabs anything with butter on it, it will kill them)
You get a shell, or a bowl that is close to the ground an put applesauce in it. if you leave him alone, he will eat it.
No
Yes. But, the older crabs may bully the younger ones. And a larger tank would be a necessity.
