the right type of sand for a hermit crab is like at the beach. But make sure that the sand doesn't have any wood or mulch like chips in it, it's harmful for them. And don't buy any of the colored sand it is paint on it and the toxins in it can kill your hermit crab.Don't put any gravel in the sand you get because it makes it impossible for the hermit carb to dig around. So I hope that answers all your questions!

∙ 11y agoIn a hermit crabs habitat you can use organic normal beach sand or any sand from a home improvement store (sandbox sand works well). Make sure there are no chemicals added and it doesn't have a 'processed smell'. Repti-sand also works really well, as it is a pet-grade safe sand.

What do you call small hermit crabs?
It depends on where you find them. Are they in the rocks or tidepools. They are just small crabs waiting to become big crabs like you find in the ocean. Otherwise, are they in the sand, they are actually called sandcrabs. Sandcrabs are usually grey or silver in color with many legs and look kind of like "rolly pollys". You can dig for them each time a wave goes back out to the ocean. The crabs in the rocks, or the tiny, tiny ones you see on the sand are just little crabs that have hatched and are waiting to become big crabs before they go out to the ocean.
