You sure can, it would be best to sterilize it first. I suggest laying the sand out on a sheet and baking it in the oven for a bit. It'll kill the bacteria and give you a chance to remove any harmful debris.
Sand is better so they can dig.
hermit crabs i guess
pineapples can
It depends on the gauge. Hermit crabs don't tolerate powder fine sand, it needs to be sugar sized granules.
nope! most people own hermit crabs and have them in tanks with sand.
Blending craft sand with hermit crab sand is not recommended, as craft sand may contain harmful additives or chemicals that could be detrimental to hermit crabs' health. Hermit crab sand is specifically formulated to provide a safe environment, including the right texture and moisture retention. If you want to create a suitable substrate, it's best to use only products specifically designed for hermit crabs or natural sand that is free of harmful substances. Always prioritize the safety and well-being of your hermit crabs when choosing their habitat materials.
Empty snail shells.
no
Hermit crabitats can have sand or coconut fibers, for they both are good for burying under.
No, for the substrate you can have coconut fiber. I have half of that and sand.
I really don't think you shoulden't because hermit crabs aren't where expirensed with other crabs what i'm trying to say is that the other crab might try to take him out of his shell and eat him but hey what do i know i'm 10
First of all, sand crabs are not hermit crabs. Sand crabs are usually tan, white, brownish, or other flesh-like colors. If you catch one, let it go--They need water.
