Hermit Crabs

Yes, as long as you provide adequate molting conditions (deep, moise sand and/or coconut fiber), they will molt and repair any damage to their bodies.

Well, most hermit crabs do not come out during the day, or when they know you are watching them. to see if they are alive, carefully put your fingewr nail on there claw, or blow on them. If they move it, than they are ok. If it is very stiff, they are still ok. If you can move there claw, yourself, and it is very wiggly, they are not usually alive.

A hermit crab needs food, water, a spray bottle to spray the ground, and a shelter their might be other things but that is all i know.

Yes, in fact i have some carrots in my crabitat right now. My hermies seem to love them.

Hermit crabs are scavengers and can eat all fruits, veggies, SEA salted nuts, egg yolk, egg whites, and egg shell (which is also what i have with the carrots), and lean (not fatty) meats.

Stay AWAY from human food like twinkies, pizza, seasonings on meat, salted foods (but SEA salt, they love AND is healthy for them), ect. . .

That depends on what you think "easy" is. Before you get them, make sure you do some research. Here are some good sites:

they have the most familiar atoms to protons andelectrons to nucleus

Crabs are opportunistic eaters and will eat almost anything they can get their claws on. Unless aggressive, crabs will usually eat algae or dead animals rather than hunting live fish or invertebrates. Crabs will only go hunting if there isn't sufficient organic material to eat (such as detritus, algae, dead animals, corals, etc.) unless the crab is aggressive and prefers hunting.

Typically Hermit crab blood is blue, but at times it can be clear.

Land hermit crabs lay their eggs and carry them in their shell until they are ready to hatch. A female crab will be holding them on the sides of her abdomen and they are quite easy to spot because there are so many of them. She will release them in the ocean when they are ready.

A hermitess. See listing at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Hermitess

once before you go to bed, or every other day or even every 3 days at that time.

Usually it just goes to the floor of whatever it lives in, but they can swim in the water.

I have a female fiddler crab and her pinches are not that bad. But she is not that aggressive. So it depends on how active they really are.

In the wild, land hermit crabs live in jungles, forests, and even gardens in warm areas. Water hermit crabs live in the warm oceans.

to have a personality that reject all forms of society and society-like issues? Sort of a hermit crab...? That's how I've always used it

Rope would not be nutritious for crabs, although it might not be harmful, but that depends on the type of rope; sisal is more digestible than polypropylene, for example. I advise against feeding rope to any animals. Try feeding them food, instead.

Not all crabs live near the shoreline. A few live near the shoreline while others live on the ocean floor. It's just the habitat they prefer.

Hermit crab eggs look similar to some fish eggs. Thousands of eggs are laid along the left side of the female's abdomen. The female will carry them for about a month. The eggs will gradually turn gray. The female will go to the ocean and deposit the eggs into the water.

I had some named Hermie, Charles, and Elizabeth.

Okay..so first....You must have sand and water. Sand so they can crawl and burrow and water so they stay hydrated. You can buy hermit crab food at your local pet store called Hermit Crab Variety Bites. You can also buy them Hermit Crab Cookies for little treats. So, you get them a big enough tank and you fill the bottom with enough sand for them to burrow in..i filled up like 5 inches but they probably dont need that much. Then you buy them a little water dish they can easily crawl in and out of, you dont want to drown them. Be careful to clean out the food they dont eat becuase it will get soggy and mold will grow..they eat that too but it can be harmful if flies lay their eggs in it.

OH YEAH...YOU NEED A TEASPOON OF SALT FOR EVERY...UHM..5 GALLONS? I BELIEVE..IDK, COPY AND PASTE THE WEBSITE. IDK. XD SORRY CAPS!

You probably could but you want to make sure its free of bugs and parasites. Hermit crabs get parasites very easily

It looks like tiny worms. It's long like fish poop. You usually find it in the food dish or in the water dish as they keep it in their shells and only clean it out on occasion.

I fully agree with that statement besides the fact of them keeping it in their shells. Every once in a while one of my little hermies will leave a little pooper behind while enjoying its recreation time outside of the cage.

I suggest that you not use it because hermit crabs sand should be soft and moon sand can be clumped together. If the sand is clumped together the hermit crabs can't dig. The sand you choose is optional just make sure it DOESN'T have the following:

make sure it can't be clumped together

Make sure you get enough sand that is able to cover double the crab and its shell.

There is A LOT more things to learn about hermit crabs so do your homework and get as much info as possible!

Also make sure to bathe your crabs, here's how:

1. Fill up a bowl of room temp water( make sure the bowl is big enough to cover the crab fully

2.put 1 crab at a time in the water and let go of them when there at the bottom of the bowl.

3.When u see the crab come out(NOT to where you can see his tushie)(make sure it doesn't come fully out of his shell)so when u see the crab come out(not fully) gently take the crab out of the water and back into the tank

You would be stunned at what your hermit crab can eat. They love peanut butter, romaine lettuce, pineapple, apple, kiwi, guava, mango, crickets, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, coco bark, coconut, coconut fiber, bananas and lots lots more. In a pinch if you don't have fresh fruit on hand you can use baby food- banana, applesauce, guava, mango. They also can have raw chopped meat. These are not disposable pets as many think. They require a proper crabitat to live in and can live up to 25 years if properly taken care of.
