Description

Hermit crabs are nocturnal scavengers that will eat almost anything. Hermit Crabs live in large groups in the wild and do best in groups of three or more.

- Hermit crabs breath through gills so it is important that their habitat has a humidity of 70% to 80% to keep their gills from drying out
- Hermit crabs should be housed together as they are highly social. Do not house different invertebrate species together
- Nocturnal - Awake at night, sleep during the day
- Diet: Omnivorous
- Max Size: 6 inches
- Lifespan: 10 years

A well-balanced hermit crab diet consists of high-quality commercial hermit crab food. Recommend vegetables (spinach, carrots and romaine lettuce) and noncitrus fruits (mangoes, coconut and papaya) as treats. Nuts, seaweed, brine shrimp and fish flakes can also be offered as treats. Provide carotene and calcium supplements (such as cuttlebone).

Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.
