Hermit Crabs like fruit ( No citrus fruit), palm tree bark, and my hermit crabs love Zoo Meds Hermit Crab food.Don't get the dried up shrimp for them, they won't eat it.
They can eat anything! It is best just to feed them small, small cut-up fruits like a cut up grape and small vegatables. Hermies have a tiny mouth so they have to have their food cut up! I guess it is okay if a hermit crab receives a small amount of a special food maybe once a month, like a top of a small piece of popcorn.
Hermit crabs, if grown up in a large aquarium can get as big as an orange.
It is all up to you. I like hermit crabs better, though.
Yes, they pick up food with their claws and put it in their mouth.
you need to fill up the food bowl/plate/etc. up whenever it empties, wet the sponge with water every time it dries, keep the crabitat warm and humid, etc, and when it's molting, do whatever the answer to that say. DO NOT GIVE IT BATHS.
Yes, so if a hermit crab is molting put some card board in between the hermit crab and the others because the others might dig it up and eat it alive. Make SURE both sides of hermit crabs have food and water. Even though the hermit crab might not dig up that, day it might while you are away, and it will need food and water as soon as it comes up.
Answer: Usually a sea snail's.
Yes they do. Out in the wild hermit crabs live in groups up to hundreds. but in captivity i would have at least 3.
If you have a hermit crab, we used to feed them dog food just break the pellets up into smaller sizes the hermit crabs do not eat much so watch the dog food for mold, just 2 nuggets will last a long time, the hard part is getting larger shells for the hermit crabs.
