Hermit Crabs

it depends how big it will get

I wouldn't. Just feed them regular hermit crab food you find at a pet store.

clams, oysters, or mussels

Hermit crabs pull themselves up into their hard shell. Other crabs must just get away as fast as they can.

A sea hermit crab carries sea anemones on it's back to protect it from other predators.

You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)

It might of died because it can not eat without its claw to pick up its food. It might of died because it can not eat without its claw to pick up its food. It also might have dies because of stress. A sign of stress is that their claws start falling off. Maybe check how warm and how high the humidity is. The temperature should be between 70-80 degrees, 75 is best though. But never have it higher than 80 or less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity should be 60-70%, but no higher than 75%. Hope this helped!

Room temperature is best (around 74*F/23*C). I tired to keep mine out of air conditioned rooms, but away from direct heat. If you want to know more about how to care for hermit crabs, go to hermit-crabs.com.

Hermit crabs prefer powder food because it is closest to what they eat in the wild. In the wild they eat a wide variety - logs, fruit, nuts, plants and grasses. If you'd really like to pamper your hermit crab, add flowers, meats, vegetables, etc. in their diet. But if you are buying food, powder is the way to go!

measure the square footage of the roofed area and divide by 100. That will give you the number of "square" (100 square ft/square) in your roof. Add approximately 5 to 10% for valleys and special cuts, depending on how simple the roof is. Measure the total length of the ridge line (hip as well) and purchase that much ridge cap... +10%

Yes, it can't walk!!

No, for the substrate you can have coconut fiber. I have half of that and sand.

I think "clypeatus" is derived from the word "clupeus" in Latin that means "shield"

Sharpen and wax the blades. a bigger hill

No, crabs do not have teeth in the sense that most people think. They have tooth-like structures in their stomachs in a chamber called the gastric mill which performs food processing, just like the teeth in your mouth. Unlike your teeth, the teeth in a crab's gastric mill are not made of bone, but of a material called chitin, which is the same material that makes up most of a crab's shell.

Sand or rocks are best.But, many crabs like coconut fiber. you can find it at most pet stores.
