Want to talk with your buddies without clogging up the rest of the forums? This is the spot to do it!
No one said we hate you. If you think that we do, why don't you ignore us?"iamalive" wrote:
Why does everyone hate on me? The innocent little 10 year old that just likes getting his post count up? No Jr Mod has warned me about my "spam"


Cool. I had hermit crabs a while ago but they died.. I think."mainmuffin" wrote:
Hermit Crabs make great pets. It's more common to buy land hermit crabs but they sell sea hermits too. One thing you have to remember is that you need a good place for your hermies. Tank: The tank is VERY important! It's good to get a big glass one (2 gallons for every hermit crab!) The tanks need substrate wich is just sand in the bottom of the tank. Do not use pebbles like from a fish tank. The hermit crabs like to hide in the sand, and rocks do not offer this. Humidity: The tanks needs to be very humid (70% humidity). Use a heater and you'll need water. Water: They need salt and fresh water. You can't use table salt, that's BAD. And do NOT use tap water, because it has chlorine in it. Shells: Hermit crabs will switch shells very often, so be prepared. Have lots of shell options! And don't get painted shells. Those are bad. The paint can chip off and the crabs seriously EAT the paint. How many crabs?: Beleive it or not, hermit crabs get lonley. You should buy at least 4 of them. Isolation tank: This is very important! When the hermit crabs molt (shed their skin) you need to put them in an isolation tank. If you don't, the other crabs could kill them. Thanks for reading! Comment and let me know if this was helpful!
