How do you make a hermit crab playground with household items?

Answer 1

This can be easier than you think. You can make hides and/or climbs out of things like old dishes (glass, clay or plastic) turned on their side and stuck down in the sand, flower pots (same thing), Legos (you can build steps or platforms), suction cup soap dishes stuck to the side of the tank, old baskets, plastic or ceramic statues or figurines, even a piece of broken toy can work! I am planning a climb made from a toy shopping cart! You can also use plastic or silk vines, flowers or plants. Almost anything that can stand up to the humidity and has been cleaned first, can be used in your hermie tank. Avoid stuff with paints if possible though, as it can chip & get eaten.
