Hermit Crabs

The kind of hermit crabs most people think of are Land Hermit Crabs. They live on land, and need at least enough water to submerge themselves. Land Hermit Crabs do need sea salt to keep their body chemistry balanced, and as such, need access to both salt and fresh water.

Marine Hermit Crabs require a full saltwater aquarium to survive. Such tanks are elaborate, and should be researched thoroughly before purchase. Saltwater pets of all sorts are often regarded as difficult to care for.

Hermit crabs require both fresh and salt water to thrive. They drink fresh water to stay hydrated and occasionally dip into salt water to replenish minerals and salts. It's important for their overall health and ability to moult properly.

No they dont. they change shells once they are uncomfortable with their shells and theyre getting bigger . their shells are like clothes we wear. if it gets smaller we find a more larger one :)

when they go, they gotta GO! they dont use a litterbox or anything, they just go! Sometimes when my hermit crab is nervous he pees! I think its hilarious! P.S the poop doesnt smell!

Natural predators of land hermit crabs include birds, reptiles, and some mammals like raccoons and crabs. These predators typically prey on hermit crabs by sniffing them out, knocking them over, and breaking their shells to access the soft body inside.

Sand crabs breathe through gills located on their abdomen, which are used to extract oxygen from the water. They absorb dissolved oxygen from seawater by pumping water over their gills and then releasing it through openings called pleopods.

Hermit crabs cannot see in the red spectrum because their eyes primarily contain a single type of photoreceptor that is sensitive to light in the blue to ultraviolet range. This means they are unable to detect red light due to the lack of specific photoreceptors for that wavelength.

It is too difficult to tell. There is no existing average for the velocity of comets, as all comets are different. Gravitional, solar and initial velocity have a lot to due with the velocity of a comet.

Even though there is a great deal of variation, the answer would have to be very, very fast. Fast, that is, compared to earth standards. If a comet were to hit earth, for example, chances are that we wouldn't see or even know that it had hit. It would just hit. Not to scare you. The chances of a comet hitting the earth are slim to none.

Yes they do.But they only lay eggs in the ocean because the babies have to see water. If you have one as a pet I am 100% sure you won't breed them in your cage.It will not be a sucess.If someone says they suceeded they are lying. Yes, hermit crabs lay eggs.

Hermit crabs should NOT be kept in a cage. They need to be in a 10-30 gallon tank with enough sand to completely bury them - as they need to burrow when they molt. When molting they will bury themselves for as long as 1 week to 2 months. If your hermit crab has nowhere to bury themselves when molting they will either retreat into their shell for 1 week - 2 months, or may even die. PLEASE do the proper research before buying hermit crabs.

Pet stores may tell you that you can keep them in small cages with a sponge for water, but that is horribly incorrect. Hermit crabs CANNOT breath in regular air. The air needs to be at least 70-80% humidity, and they need to be in a tank that's at least 70 degrees fahrenheit. Hermit crabs can live up to 30 years. Most people only have their crabs from 1 week-3 months because they do not know how to properly care for them.

If you own a hermit crab and do not care for them as stated above PLEASE look into either acquiring the proper tools needed for their care, or consider turning them over to an animal sanctuary that cares for hermit crabs.

Its hard exoskeleton protects it for most predetors & keeps water off its flesh. The claws are used for mating duels & protection. The reason for so many legs are for grip on And off land.

Snow crabs primarily feed on a diet of small fish, mollusks, and other crustaceans found on the ocean floor. They are opportunistic feeders, scavenging on whatever food source is available to them in their habitat.

found in mangroves and on sandy or muddy beaches of West Africa, the Western Atlantic, Eastern Pacific and Indo-Pacific

Usually crab legs are cooked when you buy them so you only need to warm them. I find the best way is to steam them. I put a veggie steamer in a large pot and only put the water to the level of the steamer. I put old bay all over the crab legs (some people use crab boil also) and when the water boils I put them in the steamer. I boil for about 10 mins or until hot. You can make a cream sauce to dip them in or melt butter. I heat heavy cream for about an hour and add a lot of butter and cook for about 10 more mins then I squeeze a lemon in the sauce. Its perfect! Easy and quick. Boil the legs with Old Bay seasoning added to the water. Cook until they turn orange. Dip in melted butter when ready to eat! There are healthier alternatives to dips for crab legs there as well and some really good crab meat recipes.

It depend's upon the species of hermit crab. There are many different species for example The common hermit crab is called Eupagurus bernhardus.

Cowrie shells are mollusk shells, specifically from the family Cypraeidae. They are often found in tropical seas and are known for their shiny, smooth shells that come in various colors and patterns.

In the poem "Ambassadors of Poverty," the poet uses metaphor to compare the beggars to ambassadors. This suggests that the beggars are representatives of a state of poverty. The poet also employs imagery to paint a vivid picture of the beggars' suffering and desperation. Additionally, there is irony present in the way society views and treats the beggars as symbols of poverty rather than addressing the root causes of their plight.

A crab that lives in the shells of other shell fish is called a hermit crab.

The deep south regions of the United States is a growing area making significant oil discoveries at a rapid rate. Most of the area is warm and humid year-round.
