Can hermit krabs live in colore d sand?
Yes Hermit Crabs can live in colored sand, some people have them live in pink sand like I did:)It is 100 percent safe to let your Hermit Crab live in colored sand:)No, they should not live in the colored sand purchased in pet stores. That colored sand, usually 'Calci-sand'isn't true sand but calcium carbonate and prolonged exposure to it by humans or pets is unhealthy. Whenwet it can harden and trap the hermit crab beneath the surface which will kill the crab. The ideal substrate for pet hermit crabs is a mixture of shredded coconut husk such as Eco Earth and clean "play sand" which can be found in some hardware stores and is used in children's sand boxes. The mixture should be dampened to "sand castle consistency", so that when you grab a handful of it, it holds it's shape but is not so wet that it is "drippy". Hermit crabs need to be able to tunnel in their substrate for protection from the elements (too hot, too cold, too dry) or to molt and they may remain in their tunnels for days or weeks at a time.
