What Is That? There are actually two kinds of hermit crabs that can be kept as pets. The terrestrial crabs (or land based crabs) and the marine crabs that thrive in saline water. Although hermit crabs are pretty much low key in the pet grooming department; that does not mean that you can leave the crabs to fend for themselves. Further tips and advice on hermit crab care and about hermit crab breeding you’ll find at healthyhermitcrabs.com
Here are a few things to consider:
1. All hermit crabs, whether they are terrestrial or marine crabs, enjoy better health if they are not handled too much. Bathing terrestrial crabs should be limited to once a week or less.
2. Terrestrial crabs cannot live in a water-submerged environment. Their enclosure should have a substrate consisting of moist sand and a few forest-floor like bedding (like shredded coconut fiber.) They need to have access to both saline water and water that has been stripped off chlorine as their drinking water.
3. Terrestrial crabs are omnivores and can eat almost anything under the sun. That includes eating the occasional bark and oak leaves. However, these crabs should never be allowed to eat salty foods, sugary foods or meat based products. Visit www.healthyhermitcrabs.com to get further information about feeding a hermit crab.
4. Marine hermit crabs prefer to the salinity level in their enclosure to be between the specific gravity of 1.023 and 1.025. However, temperatures should be carefully monitored. Temperate living hermit crabs need to be submerged in water that is tempered at 4 C to 14 C only. On the other hand, tropical hermit crabs need a higher 24 C to 27 C in order to remain in their peak of health.
5. Marine hermit crabs need algae to graze on which makes them feed on the bottom substrate most of the time. Constantly cleaning out the tank and the substrates can actually deprive them of their favored food source, and cause them to starve.
