What things are needed in a hermit crab tank and does anyone have tips on taking care of them?
Hermit crabs need a temperature between 70-85 degrees F since they are tropical animals. They also have modified gills which means that they need to have humidity around 70-80%, or else they will suffocate. Also hermit crabs are very social so you should at least get two of them, hermies are known to die when isolated for a long period of time from other hermies. Hermit crabs love to dig so include coconut fiber substrate, or sand (even a mixture between the two!) which should be twice as deep as your largest hermit crab. With your hermit crab should be hiding places as well as climbing places, try using chola wood or a coconut half shell. Hermit crabs will need distilled and salt water dishes. The salt water should NEVER be table salt, use SEA salt, or a hermit crab conditioner to treat the water.
