As multiple hermit crabs can be kept together in a 10 gallon or larger habitat, and they do not require daily handling or socializing outside of their habitat, hermit crabs can make an excellent pet for the pet parent that doesn't have a great deal of space or extra time to devote to a pet. Hermit crabs are quiet but social pets that can be entertaining to watch interact with each other and their environment. Hermit crabs do still need specialized care and attention however, and should be fed a high-quality commercial hermit crab food as well as treats such as vegetables, non-citrus fruits, nuts, seaweed, brine shrimp or fish flakes.
A well-balanced hermit crab diet consists of high quality commercial hermit crab food for their primary diet. Vegetables, non-citrus fruits, nuts, seaweed, brine shrimp and fish flakes can also be offered as treats.
Hermit Crabs can live 10+ years with proper care, depending on species and most will reach adult size within 2 years under ideal conditions.
Hermit crabs do need a temperature gradient of 70-80F, but this can generally be provided with an under tank heater. Although hermit crabs do not need UVB lighting, they should be provided with 10-12 hours of light for an appropriate day/night cycle.
Hermit crabs are social animals and do best in groups of 3 or more. Remember, you should never house other invertebrates with your hermit crabs.

bought three hermit crabs on June 28th. Two of them are very active and have even witnessed them changing shells a few times. However, the third one seems to be staying burrowed most of the time. I am concerned.

I found my hermit crab shell in my tank I think it’s dead but then I’ve seen legs inside of the tank and they moved what should I do oh an I took out the other shell

I want to get an apple snail or a mystery snail. I have an indoor storage container pond where I will be putting one or two goldfish in. It doesn't have a top, so can the snails crawl out? If they can, how can I avoid it? Also someone told me to quarantine it, how do i do that?
My turtle isnt moving much its about 3 inches and the shell is extremely soft around the edges i i believe shes sick nd or dying

My red eared sliders shell is discolored has hard/rough spots, and it’s not smooth. I don’t know if it’s she’ll rot or not. She also seems to be shedding excessively on her body, but never her shell.
I have a baby red eared slider a friend bought from Chinatown then couldn’t keep. I believe it’s about 1-2 months old as it wasn’t even old enough to eat when I recieved it. I have him set up in a filtered tank with a dry rock area and some caves in the water that he likes to sit on. He’s developed a couple small white spots on his shell and I’m worried that it’s some kind of infection but I also don’t know if he’s maybe starting to shed his shell.
