Keeping Hermit Crabs As Pets
If you're looking for a low maintenance pet, a hermit crab may be the one for you. They are relatives of shellfish such as lobster and shrimp, they are classified as decapod crustaceans. Hermies are found in groups feeding at night on the beaches in the Caribbean Islands as well as Florida, USA. They are nocturnal creatures which mean they move around more at night than during the day. Amusing to watch climbing on the sides of their cages or even on your clothing. Generally quiet, although studies are being done to find out why they sometimes make "croaking sounds" ( could be a form of communication).
What Do Hermit Crabs Eat?
Hermit crabs are scavengers by nature and will eat almost anything. However, steer clear of of marketed foods, as it has many preservatives, such as copper sulfate, which can harm the wee hermit. They love shrimp and silversides that are fresh, bloodworm's freeze dried krill, etc., and other seafood. They also eat raw meat or if you cook give them non marinated meat. For a treat, go to your local fish market and get a head of fish if you have several hermits. The smell can be very strong, but the crabs will thank you! They will also go bonkers over coconut shavings. An interesting fact is that they use their claws for drinking water. Change their food almost every day /night, Hermies love to bury their uneaten food, and this can cause mold. Avoid anything from Alum plants (onion, garlic, etc.).
Hermit Crab Habitat
It is important to mirror a natural environment for your hermit crab pet. Providing a cage they can climb is best, they love to climb! Bear in mind that they are found on the beach, a typical floor covering for their home should be sand. In keeping with their behavioral characteristics the crabs enjoy digging and burying themselves. In nature hermit crabs live in a tropical climate so unless you live in a warm place year round it is important to provide a heater. A certain amount of humidity in the air is crucial to the health of your pet. Some ways to maximize the humidity in your terrarium are by adding a natural sea sponge that is soaked with water, misting your hermit crabs with a spray bottle and finally adding a small water dish.
