Hermit Crabs

No it has been processed and can be toxic but they can eat almost any fruit/vegetable except any acidic ones like lemons,limes,or oranges.

Hermits want to stay on the mountains, away from all of mankind and meditate.

The hermit crab will never go back to it's shell, as it is too small. When a crayfish grows too big for the shell, it moves out, leaving the first shell and moving on to a larger, more comfortable shell. Hope this helps!

Yes. They can eat just about any type of fruit. It is a large part of their natural diet.

No. Hermit crabs live on huge beach colonies and are accustomed to working and traveling in huge groups. Crabs really need to be kept in groups (best case scenario would be in same species group). Crabs should be kept in groups of 3 or more.

Insects, and caribbean animals that live close to shore like turtles and birds. Hermit crabs can drown in water, so they live in the trees by the shore

usually the girl hermit crabs have a lighter color Female crabs have "privates" called gonopores. They are two little dots located on the back pair of walking legs. You can find a picture by going to this sight: http://hermit-crabs.com/sexing.html

no

There are a variety of sea animals. These include sea lions, the whale, sharks, walruses, manatees, as well as dolphins.

Usually when you set up a crabitat it should have 2 bowls, a food bowl and a water bowl. Also you should add some climbing toys in the petstore. There should be a place where they can hide like a small cave. Also you need a bedding like calcium sand. Tank should have a temperature between 72-80 degress. I have have land hermit crabs and it works. Hopes it helps!

Generally size is a good indication, although that's not always the case. Unless you got it from a pet store that it quite familiar with the background of the animal, you're best bet is probably to judge from the size.

It's hard to say. Generally we find out when they are not happy because they behave as if they are ill, moving slowly, hanging out of their shell, not moving for many days.

A hermit crab who is healthy will probably be seen walking around in the tank, climbing on fake plants and wood, or digging in the substrate. He will visit the water bowl regularly, visit the salt water bowl occasionally, and will generally trash the tank sometimes, toppling dishes and dragging bits of fresh food around.

If they disappear for weeks, they are probably below the surface molting, and should never be disturbed at this time. Never, ever dig up a buried crab.

Be sure to visit http://www.crabstreetjournal.com and look up the article "Are you Ready for a Land Hermit Crab?" to make sure you have everything he needs to live a long, healthy life.

Depending on how old they are. They molt less when they are older and molt more often when they are younger. If they have enough calcium to molt or not. Generally every 1-2 months.

Not all of them have "shells," but all of them have exoskeletons, which are essentially the same thing.

on a male horseshoe crab, the two front appendages look like boxing gloves. They use these to hold on to the female when they mate. on a female the two front appendages just look like regular claws

poop

yes but make sure the fish are big so the crayfish cant eat them

Realizing the world is full of walking, talking pieces of fecal matter.

Hermit crab mites are like head lice for crabs. They are small wingless insects that crawl around inside the shells of hermit crabs. And, just like lice, they have nothing to do with how clean or dirty the habitat or crabs are. Mites can hide out in hermit crab toys, bedding and even food.

No. They just miss out on the extra protein they would have gotten.

yes i use to have one and we kept him in a tiny plastic cage but no netting on the edge make sure its safe though it probably depends on the crab. If it is a small crab you could put it in a plastick cage, but when it gets older and bigger you might want to change it. good luck!!

i got clocked out and i was flying at 13.9mph down a straight a way yesterday

your hermit crabs are burrowing because they are about to molt. hermit crabs have exoskeletons so they have to molt or shed their exoskeleton to grow. so they dig underground to do that because hermies are vunrable they will stay underground to weeks to months NEVER dig them up. you know if they are dead if you smell rotting egg.

Not a good idea. First, toads are veracious eaters and may try to eat your crabs. Second, if you have crabs, you are supposed to offer them salt water. Toads have sensitive skin and if they jump into the salt water, it will mess up it's osmotic balance.
