@@LorisHartland I got a questions like do u have to give ur hermit crabs salt water daily because I just give it fresh and can 2 small hermit crabs die from a 5 gallon tank
Awww, there so cute! My hermit crab is three years old. Also, hermit crabs are master escapers so be careful. I learned that the hard way, lol. I forgot to water Tina ONE day and she got so mad that she got OUT of her cage and some how got DOWNSTAIRS. Ever since then I have the lid tighter and make sure to give her water. XD. Every one makes at least one mistake with a first pet I guess. I still sometimes scope out the cage to make sure it’s still closed tight. I love all my pets, even though most of them are sassy. (Though my hermit crab is the sassiest one.)
WolfyFox TAIL my cousin and I got crabs while on vacation and one of theres escaped and they couldn’t find it for days 😂 they finally found it after 4 days, and yes it was a alive, it molted and ate it’s remains to stay alive is what they think because it was very white and looked it like it just molted.
yup I'm so not getting another pet anytime soon now I need to buy 2 new 40 gal breeders for my hamsters and more accessories I also need more aquiram supplies for my goldfish a huge bag of moss to redo my frog tank and now more hermitcrab foods and possible a new tank and a new lid with light and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough money in my wallet for all of it
My hermits also love the variety diet! I feed it with carrots, and cucumber because they like those 3 the best! For the saltwater and freshwater, I use Zoo-Med reptile water conditioner for the freshwater, and you can add the Zoo-Med saltwater conditioner, but make sure you add it to a freshwater base. ( add freshwater, and then add 2-3 drops of saltwater conditioner) my hermits have been living for 3 years. They are thriving!
Ratnesh Shrinet hello.. did not end well I would not recommend as class pets one of the kids killed one of the hermit crabs. The other moved to my house to live with me.
Your hermies are so adorable!!! I've actually been thinking about getting some myself we will see though lol they have always fascinated me ! Always love learning about them lovely video!!!! ❤❤
You should get some! They are so fun to watch! They are very easy in my opinion as long as you know what they need ;) Ive had these guys about 6 years! I can't believe it lol they kinda make me feel like its a tiny pc of he ocean I can keep at home. I couldn't do fish, salt water fish are so much work but I love the ocean lol! So these guys are perfect :)
Thanks so much,Lori! I recently got the "OK" from my parents to finally allow me to get hermit crabs. Don't worry, I'm 14 years old not a toddler so I'm going to take very good care of them. I am not getting them until a long time from now but I want to be fully prepared. So thanks for these videos! I know I shouldn't support anyone selling hermit crabs. Our local pets mart takes very well care of their hermit crabs , with everything they need! I plan to get two for my 10 gallon, but I'm thinking about 3. Do you think 3 small ones is too many? Thanks!-JoJo
When I got my hermit crabs almost a year ago I asked the lady that worked at the store if I had to give them salt water and she told me no just normal water and she told me other information that I am now learning that is not right thanks for this video now I can properly feed my crabs
They also LOOOVE the electric lettuce LOL! Ya know... Mary J 😉. Just gotta make sure they all have a little individual piece because they will legit fight over it. 😆 No kidding tho. They instinctively know exactly what it is and what it's meant for. Hermit crab stressed out? There's seriously no better treat to lighten up their little moods and display their personalities! It's never hurt any living being and animals seem to know what more and more humans are finding out. Nature knows what it's doing... and so do your little guys! Treat their little lives to what they are missing out on in the wild! After all... they sacrificed their lives to entertain yours. #StonerCrabs
I wish you had included a few seconds at the end of them actually eating. I was expecting that. Also, I didn't know people kept crabs as pets until about 20 minutes ago and now I'm fascinated! What's the social aspect or are they purely observational pets?
Angela King .... its hard to catch them eating! They do it at night I only see them in the water usually! And also yes they are pets to watch def, they aren't to be handled much at all :) just to have and enjoy!
I don't know what's wrong with my hermit crab but they never eat even if I change their food every 24hours and when I wake up I still see the food there but my hermit crab still alive,please help me
Your hermit crabs will eat commercial food? Mine wont even touch it! I feed them vegetables,freeze dried fruits, egg shells, cheese (once a month), fruits, meats, etc. I mean, i give them commercial food, but they ignore it.
How do i feed them fruits with out flies and bugs coming! I don't want to feed them the dry powder food I bought from the pet store, but when I put in fruit and veggies, it molds easy from the humidity, and bugs come . Any tips???
I have a hermit crab and he is always buried in the substrate except for at night or when everything is dark. He seems very anxious because everytime there is a light or I pick him up he flips out and hides. Is there anything you think I can do to help him or is this behavior normal? P.S I'm on a sea food diet I see food and I eat it Dudu tssss
Did you just purchase or get your crab? Lots of the time its stress from transitioning homes! Hust make sure to leave it alone for a while to get used to its new home!
I watch your vids ALOT over and over again to see if I missed something that I can get my crabs and I always see more stuff in your vids. My hermits got mites a few months ago and I took them to the vet and the lady didn't know what to do she had to look up stuff and I didn't trust anything she said and also said that she can give them a special bath to get rid of the mites but it can cause death but I didn't take that risk I went home I let them soak in distilled water and I soaked everything in the tank with water and a bit of bleach then I rinsed and wiped down the tank really good and now they are mite free :) I've had them for almost a year im getting them a 20 gallon long soon they have both molted great and my first one is molting again they have both changed shells quite a few times. If it wasn't for me finding your videos my crabs would have died due to the lack of care. Thank you
I think in Thailand people don’t really give their pet hermit crab veggies and fruits cuz there’s flies and bugs everywhere that lay eggs and the veggies and fruits. I am just tired about hermit crabs. Does anyone here in the comment section live in Thailand and have this kinda problem???
Thanks so much! I’m trying to convince my parents to let me get a few! I’m gonna name the sushi, Larry, Garry, and noodle! 😂 if i do ever get them. Lol wish me luck!
I know this video is kind of old, but I have a few comments. (sorry if I already posted something similar on another video) but the substrate should be a little more wet. At least "sand castle" consistency. They need this so they can molt properly and dig tunnels. Also, your water bowls are too shallow. It needs to be deep so your biggest hermit crab can fully submerge. Just some tips! Good luck crabbing!❤
Hi! My hermit crabs love the fmr land hermit crab treats too, and I’m pretty sure they still sell it just in different packaging! Thanks for talking about it.
I used to feed my hermit crabs with Dandelion flowers&leaves. They love it unfortunately it's seasonal in Canada so best thing to do is collect&dry them for the winter even if u got some of them growing indoors.
I'm getting two hermit crabs and I have done my research for at least one year! But I'm not sure what size tank would be a reasonable size, thanks for the diet info I love your channel💕😊💕🐚🦀
I really have enjoyed your hermit crab videos. I recently took in a single hermit crab so he would not go on Craig's list. I have learned so much about crabs since then. His previous owner was doing many things right but I am kind of surprised the crab has lived as long as he has. I changed up a lot of things for him added a second hermit crab and will be upgrading them to a much bigger tank very soon. He is so happy since I added a second crab to his tank😊 I think I will be adding a third once I get their bigger tank set up and they get use to their new environment. Thanks again for all the info!!
Angela Tekell ... That's so great to hear, hey love company for sure! Xo as long as their enclosure has all the things I've mentioned, Eco earth, moisture, differently foods/fruit/veg. Saltwater & fresh and a light or heat source & shells they should be perfect 💗 good luck!
Thanks I have sand right now but I just bought some of the eco earth and some more shells. The will be moving into their new improved tank this week!! I did vary their diet up on your recommendations and they seem to be very happy with the addition of the veggies to their diet. I have some other types of food coming soon from amazon also. :)
Marquis Townsend .... depends on how big they are, smaller than a golf ball I would say 3- 4 or less, any larger no more than 2 in a 10 gallon. Bigger than a 3 inch shell I would only have 1. Any more than 3 crabs its best to get a 20 gallon long if you can, also don't mix different crab sizes, large crabs pick on and can kill smaller ones esp in a small tank! Keep like sizes together 💗 thanks for watching!!!
Is it ok to fill up a jug of tap water and let it sit for 48+ hours and then give it to them for drinking and soaking? I have never done this, I'm just wondering.
Okay stupid question; you say you have to wash your food, but does it have to be with tap water or something else. I know tapwater is poisonous for hermit crabs. :)
Do you have to change out the water everyday or no? (If it’s not dirty.) also we put reptile mulch in it’s not sandy at all so idk if we should change it next time. Also how long do you have to clean/re-arrange the cage. We have one hermit crab.
You are such an amazing caretaker for these crabs ! They are so lucky to have u😊 I am getting an hermit crab so I am researching. I am so nervous I might kill it. Any tips for keeping them alive a long time?
flowerbella 123 ... watch my first hermit crab video to see them bathe. But you don't clean them, they just need to soak a few minutes 💗 room temp water.
Hi lori. I need help. Im currently raising 3 hermit crabs and they are from the sea. Im not so sure how to prepare the tank. But your videos have helped me alot! Should i seperate them?
Eliza Perkovich ... I don't think it's a problem, everything they consume in captivity comes out of plastic. Maybe if the saltwater was left in the sun then yea :) xo 💗
I bought some hermit crab food AND IT TRYED TO KILL HIM! He’s sick I know because he smells bad and I’m panicking I gave him a bit of green apple and cherry
so i found out that hermit crabs are scavengers so they eat anything edible, and the more smelly, the better, BUT NO ROT OR MOLD!!! it is not safe for them. but they also like turky or chicken, you can give them left overs, my hermit crabs enjoy casadias (im not good at spelling, oof) and turky, on thanksgiving, if any left overs, we give them turky and homemade mashed potatos, they enjoy it. and these are just some other things about hermit crabs
Okay, I don’t think anyone else has said this, but it’s “All Living Things”, not “All Things Living”. I’m not trying to be mean or anything, I’m just letting you know before someone else is a dick about it...loved the video though ❤️
I have a very large hermit crab that I believe could be 25 years old. I have had him/her for 4 1/2 years. I guess I have done mostly the right thing, but I get panicked in the summer. How do I make sure he's cool enough? I do freeze water (dechlorinated) in plastic bottles and I put the fresh and salt water in the refrigerator, but his area still gets very hot. I like your videos very much, they have been quite helpful. I would appreciate some advice on this. Thank you.
Hey. I got my crabs today. Crabcakes and Seaerchin. Followed all your advice. Can you tell me if I should mist them? If so what kind of water. Please get back to me soon. 😘 I’m your biggest fan😁🤗
Lori so i have a hermit crab named pickle and he has made ut about 7 month but i want to upgrade his tank and get him some new friends but my town diesnt have a pet store with the stuff i want and i cant drive but all the stuff im getting him is going to cost a lot of mony and im just a pre teen and he us used to sand on one side of his tank and eco earth on the other if i change it to just eco will that be safe for him since im changing it up so mutch (Here is my list)(take note this is a upgrade/haul) 3 bags of eco earth Big and little plants Hideout Saltwater Freshwater Mister/spray bottle A scooper 3 store bought foods Vegetables Climbing decor 20 gallon tank 1-2 new germit crabs A lot more shells Heat pad Anything els i think will be good for them Do i need to get them sponges?
...coconut can be more than a 'desert' for coconut. You don't have to worry about them having too much sweet. They'll eat fruit peels. They love fruit and decaying matter like wood. They like rocks with algae/moss growing on them and dead leaves.
My little hermie Kevin LOVES to eat watermelon and honey due, but I only give it to him once a week as a treat. My friend says sugary fruits are ok as a full time diet. I'm not sure about that?? I want him to be healthy.
Jesslyn Carol .... land hermit crabs are just that. Land crabs, fruit isn't something they would encounter often. Their main diet is small shrimp and sea bugs, and things. Occasional fruit is ok, but not too sugary. 💗
Emmmmmm... I want a hermit crab SOOOOO BAD! But I’m allergic to shellfish so I’d die if I touched their food or if they died I would also die... so... yeah...
I ended up adopting two from a kid but I had to be careful with their food. Like only touching it and going to wash my hands after without touching anywhere on my face
I have a hermie named Pinchy but over spring break I'm buying a few crabs from the painted shell industry beacause my shell collection has a lot of Turbo shells in it so they will change quickly. how do u get over molting? i get soooooo worried.
I need your help please. I recently saved 2 hermit crabs. The lady told me they are "marine" (land crabs) and do NOT need salt. Nothing salt it will kill them. Is this true? I really need to know because I'm scared they will die and Google won't really tell me what I need to know
I am thinking about adopting another crab but I am worried that my crab shelldon and the new crab will have babies. What do you think I should do? I have a 10 gallon tank but my parents said to wait till they big get bigger and then we can get a 20 gallon tank.
I plan on getting a hermit crab from those shitty beach stores cause they are for free and I know you shouldn’t support those but I just feel so bad, anyways thanks for the info you are helping me so much with hermit crab care :)
My hermit crabs hate pellets so I give them the diet hermit crab food pellets and I give them baby food they love the apple one with apple bits and the strawberry and banana they also love the dried fruit mix they have at Petco and they love love coconut flakes I gave them that and it was gone in like 20mins they all took some and hide with it and ate it lol 😂
Hey you might want to start doing this but hermit crabs need a bowl of water they can fully submurge and swim in. They have a water supply in the back of their shells that they keep up with by swimming
I have hermit crabs I give them grapes and peanut butter everyday and sometimes veggies with it they love it I’ll be at school and when I get home it will be almost gone! (It’s smooth peanut butter btw)
Lori I'm not sure where you're located or if you know of anyone closer to me....we have three hermit crabs, we've had them for two years and it's time for them to be re-homed. I feel terrible and want to make sure they go to someone that will correctly care for them.
I got a Hermit Crab for the first time a couple days ago but I don't know where to get the salt water and I only have one crab and I heard they don't live long alone so I don't know what to do:(
I feed my hermit crab salt water I got from pet smart and I feed him lettuce and can u at least try to make a video on how to tell if it's a boy or girl thank you I also feed him lettuce and cucumber
I just got a hermit crab 🐚 what should i feed it without buying food from the pet store? Should I buy pellets?Are cantaloupe's,lettuce,corn,and banana 🍌 good for them?
Anabelle_ Ferraer ... It would be kinda hard to give them a complete diet without a good pellet that offers everything in one but you could try just be sure to do a lot of research first. :)
I NEVER fed mine pellet food, I feed mine dried mango, coconut, meal worms, dried shrimp, fruits, red clovers, and stinging needle leaves. I also add Green sand and they love it.
I am looking into getting hermit crabs. My brother had cared for them in 1st grade and loved then. For level of care do you think hermit crabs are somewhat easy to take care of and take up a lot of time. I have a few fish, dog, and am getting snails soon.
Hey, I'm planning but another crab BECUASE I had three but two were my brothers and it ripped mine to sheds. Obviously I was devastated so I held off of crabs.. now I'm panning to get 1 😂 do you mind doing all the basics on crabs? Like how to feed, how to make water for them, bathe, heat, water down, clean, cage set up and what I need to get 😅 so much things but it would mean the world to me :) I'm just scared I'll kill them :( I'm also on a budget, love you btw 💛💛💛💛💛😉👑✨
I am wanting to get around 2-3 hermit crabs in my around 30 gallon tank. I did some research. I will be buying normal shells, not painted, and I will be getting a under the tank heater, and a thermometer, and humidifier. And I will mist them down. And I’ll get the coconut stuff for the bedding, and the two different waters, all safe. Salt and normal clean, without chemical waters. (I will be getting other items too, but these are the basics I am thinking about..) is there anything necessarily? I do not believe I need a heating lamp, but any suggestions? Thank you!
this actually helped me a lot since I literally just bought one small hermet crab thanks! 🖒 :P
social wolf aj ... feel free to buy a couple more if you have a 20 gallon! They love company! 💗🦀💗

Omg mine escaped once too
yup I'm so not getting another pet anytime soon now I need to buy 2 new 40 gal breeders for my hamsters and more accessories I also need more aquiram supplies for my goldfish a huge bag of moss to redo my frog tank and now more hermitcrab foods and possible a new tank and a new lid with light and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough money in my wallet for all of it
one of my hermit crabs goes absolutely ape whenever I give them a little bit of wet cat food as a treat.
lol
Good or not good

Haha same!!
Thank you! My teacher wants them as a class pet and I’m gonna try to take care of them the best I can!
Lavender Zone wow Good class pets
Ratnesh Shrinet hello.. did not end well I would not recommend as class pets one of the kids killed one of the hermit crabs. The other moved to my house to live with me.

Actually they would not be

HammyLux if you do want one you should get some from the beach there are many there are pools
No never take crabs from the wild
All of them are from the wild, they've been caught from their natural habitat to stores

Thanks!-JoJo
The Wonder Paws three is just fine just add a bit more food
Three small ones should be in a 20 gallon I'd say
Look for the Facebook group hermit crab owners! :)
did you ever get them
Go on Land hermit crab owner society on Facebook or crabstreetjournal.com. Their information is actually followed behind science.
I'm using a real coconut to make my hermi crabs hut and I'm glad i know it's not harmful if they decide to eat any that's dried.
my hermit crab loved everything coconut, it's his favorite food and if something is made of it he'll take immediate interest. XD
When I got my hermit crabs almost a year ago I asked the lady that worked at the store if I had to give them salt water and she told me no just normal water and she told me other information that I am now learning that is not right thanks for this video now I can properly feed my crabs

My biggest hermit crab (gandalf) was eating on my bed when I was going to clean their tank i'm so excited because I caught it on camera
People visit Florida and bring them back as gifts....sold EVERYWHERE.
I have 3.....6 years now. They can live 40!!!
Amazon has that FMR treat. It’s Florida marine research treat.
ummm I just have to say how CUTE your hermit crabs are
I love these hermit crab videos and I've learned so much and now I know I'm ready to own my new pets😊so plz make more they are amazing😙
I don't know what's wrong with my hermit crab but they never eat even if I change their food every 24hours and when I wake up I still see the food there but my hermit crab still alive,please help me
I also have a recommendation you can also use grinded up egg shell for calcium my hermits really enjoy it!
Your hermit crabs will eat commercial food? Mine wont even touch it! I feed them vegetables,freeze dried fruits, egg shells, cheese (once a month), fruits, meats, etc. I mean, i give them commercial food, but they ignore it.
Stickered Shells mine do, but I feed them a huge variety too
Pls dont feed your crabs the variety diet. it has copper sulfate in it. that is a pesticide!
But i love your crabs! And channle!
It’s good for them. If you are the same exact thing everyday, would you get tiered of it? No hard feelings?
How do i feed them fruits with out flies and bugs coming! I don't want to feed them the dry powder food I bought from the pet store, but when I put in fruit and veggies, it molds easy from the humidity, and bugs come . Any tips???

You did give them fruit,cucumber is a fruit.btw,yes I did comment after 4 years
My hermit carb hasn’t been eating as much as it used to, do you know why?
Amazing video! My hermit crabs thank you.
me and my big sis found a big hermit crab and can we feed it tap water?
Cucumber and bell peppers are both fruits actually... So is zucchini
And tomatoes
True but wouldvyou put those items in a fruit salad
Thanks so much! I’m trying to convince my parents to let me get a few! I’m gonna name the sushi, Larry, Garry, and noodle! 😂 if i do ever get them. Lol wish me luck!

3 at most
thats only if its a jumbo
No more than 4
I have 10 hermitcrabs
I got my hermit cab food I just got it I only have one Idk if I should get another one and also can they have a banana
Is it ok to fill up a jug of tap water and let it sit for 48+ hours and then give it to them for drinking and soaking? I have never done this, I'm just wondering.
No, that could kill your crabs please don't
Cocoa Davis, thank you I have never done this, I was just wondering about it, I promise I will never do it!

Okay stupid question; you say you have to wash your food, but does it have to be with tap water or something else. I know tapwater is poisonous for hermit crabs. :)
This is so helpful I watched a different video and they just spit every food a hermit can eat but didn’t say when or how much I can feed 😂💕💕
I gave mine strawberry and honeydew. Should I stop? I also give her the variety diet and carrots.
Do you have to change out the water everyday or no? (If it’s not dirty.) also we put reptile mulch in it’s not sandy at all so idk if we should change it next time. Also how long do you have to clean/re-arrange the cage. We have one hermit crab.
Naomi Fields it might die from loneliness (literally)
lylliana lawter how?
You are such an amazing caretaker for these crabs ! They are so lucky to have u😊 I am getting an hermit crab so I am researching. I am so nervous I might kill it. Any tips for keeping them alive a long time?
How do you clean hermit crabs I'm planning on getting 2 or 3
flowerbella 123 ... watch my first hermit crab video to see them bathe. But you don't clean them, they just need to soak a few minutes 💗 room temp water.
Hi lori. I need help. Im currently raising 3 hermit crabs and they are from the sea. Im not so sure how to prepare the tank. But your videos have helped me alot! Should i seperate them?
with the salt water... you have it in a plastic bottle... don't plastic bottles leak chemicals into the water?
Eliza Perkovich ... I don't think it's a problem, everything they consume in captivity comes out of plastic. Maybe if the saltwater was left in the sun then yea :) xo 💗
I really want a 10-20 gallon long for them but I can’t afford it, love you Lori! who else is watching this for the 100th time 😂
I bought some hermit crab food AND IT TRYED TO KILL HIM! He’s sick I know because he smells bad and I’m panicking I gave him a bit of green apple and cherry
There are also people that hate the salt water glub solution from All Things Living and don't recommend it.
so i found out that hermit crabs are scavengers so they eat anything edible, and the more smelly, the better, BUT NO ROT OR MOLD!!! it is not safe for them. but they also like turky or chicken, you can give them left overs, my hermit crabs enjoy casadias (im not good at spelling, oof) and turky, on thanksgiving, if any left overs, we give them turky and homemade mashed potatos, they enjoy it.
and these are just some other things about hermit crabs
Okay, I don’t think anyone else has said this, but it’s “All Living Things”, not “All Things Living”. I’m not trying to be mean or anything, I’m just letting you know before someone else is a dick about it...loved the video though ❤️
I have a very large hermit crab that I believe could be 25 years old. I have had him/her for 4 1/2 years. I guess I have done mostly the right thing, but I get panicked in the summer. How do I make sure he's cool enough? I do freeze water (dechlorinated) in plastic bottles and I put the fresh and salt water in the refrigerator, but his area still gets very hot. I like your videos very much, they have been quite helpful. I would appreciate some advice on this. Thank you.
Hey. I got my crabs today. Crabcakes and Seaerchin. Followed all your advice. Can you tell me if I should mist them? If so what kind of water. Please get back to me soon. 😘 I’m your biggest fan😁🤗
Lori so i have a hermit crab named pickle and he has made ut about 7 month but i want to upgrade his tank and get him some new friends but my town diesnt have a pet store with the stuff i want and i cant drive but all the stuff im getting him is going to cost a lot of mony and im just a pre teen and he us used to sand on one side of his tank and eco earth on the other if i change it to just eco will that be safe for him since im changing it up so mutch
(Here is my list)(take note this is a upgrade/haul)
3 bags of eco earth
Big and little plants
Hideout
Saltwater
Freshwater
Mister/spray bottle
A scooper
3 store bought foods
Vegetables
Climbing decor
20 gallon tank
1-2 new germit crabs
A lot more shells
Heat pad
Anything els i think will be good for them
Do i need to get them sponges?
...coconut can be more than a 'desert' for coconut. You don't have to worry about them having too much sweet. They'll eat fruit peels. They love fruit and decaying matter like wood. They like rocks with algae/moss growing on them and dead leaves.
My little hermie Kevin LOVES to eat watermelon and honey due, but I only give it to him once a week as a treat. My friend says sugary fruits are ok as a full time diet. I'm not sure about that?? I want him to be healthy.
Jesslyn Carol .... land hermit crabs are just that. Land crabs, fruit isn't something they would encounter often. Their main diet is small shrimp and sea bugs, and things. Occasional fruit is ok, but not too sugary. 💗
Emmmmmm... I want a hermit crab SOOOOO BAD! But I’m allergic to shellfish so I’d die if I touched their food or if they died I would also die... so... yeah...
360 View, maybe feed them with gloves?
I ended up adopting two from a kid but I had to be careful with their food. Like only touching it and going to wash my hands after without touching anywhere on my face
360 View, cool! Be safe I guess lol
360 view has left the chat.... and went into anaphylaxis shock
360 View, 😬
I have a hermie named Pinchy but over spring break I'm buying a few crabs from the painted shell industry beacause my shell collection has a lot of Turbo shells in it so they will change quickly. how do u get over molting? i get soooooo worried.
I need your help please. I recently saved 2 hermit crabs. The lady told me they are "marine" (land crabs) and do NOT need salt. Nothing salt it will kill them. Is this true? I really need to know because I'm scared they will die and Google won't really tell me what I need to know
She kept saying "All things living" but it's "All living things"
That's what you noticed? All I noticed is that she talks a mile a minute.
Can you also feed your hermit crab peanuts and greenpepper?
I really loved the video😍
I am thinking about adopting another crab but I am worried that my crab shelldon and the new crab will have babies. What do you think I should do? I have a 10 gallon tank but my parents said to wait till they big get bigger and then we can get a 20 gallon tank.
I plan on getting a hermit crab from those shitty beach stores cause they are for free and I know you shouldn’t support those but I just feel so bad, anyways thanks for the info you are helping me so much with hermit crab care :)
I have a 20 gallon tank and I have been giving my hermit crabs verities of vegetables but they won’t eat. Please reply, I don’t want them to die. 🙏
Some people hate store bought food because it has either fish meal or soy bean meal and that it will kill them.
My hermit crabs hate pellets so I give them the diet hermit crab food pellets and I give them baby food they love the apple one with apple bits and the strawberry and banana they also love the dried fruit mix they have at Petco and they love love coconut flakes I gave them that and it was gone in like 20mins they all took some and hide with it and ate it lol 😂
Aye.its.alyssa Wat? ... that's an awesome variety! 💗
I've seen on other sites to give them Cheyenne pepper turmeric and oranges. What's your thoughts on these? Also pool's deep enough to fully submerge.
Hey you might want to start doing this but hermit crabs need a bowl of water they can fully submurge and swim in. They have a water supply in the back of their shells that they keep up with by swimming
I have hermit crabs I give them grapes and peanut butter everyday and sometimes veggies with it they love it I’ll be at school and when I get home it will be almost gone! (It’s smooth peanut butter btw)
Lori I'm not sure where you're located or if you know of anyone closer to me....we have three hermit crabs, we've had them for two years and it's time for them to be re-homed. I feel terrible and want to make sure they go to someone that will correctly care for them.
This helps me so much decades I just got a hermit crab so thanks:)
Don’t come at me but it would be a lot easier to explain if you had a routine. This is no form of meanness. Just advice for you but thank you!
I got a Hermit Crab for the first time a couple days ago but I don't know where to get the salt water and I only have one crab and I heard they don't live long alone so I don't know what to do:(
I just found a hermit crab on the beach. It's very big and looks like a spider. Doesnt come out much
I can’t find the All Things Living pet food anywhere. Does anyone no what Happend to the brand?
we have 2 crabs and they will only eat certain things, is that an issue. Like one will only eat apples and Ive tried many different things
i threw away the food that they gave me with him because i saw a video where they said it was bad for them was that good or bad
I feed my hermit crab salt water I got from pet smart and I feed him lettuce and can u at least try to make a video on how to tell if it's a boy or girl thank you I also feed him lettuce and cucumber
I just got a hermit crab 🐚 what should i feed it without buying food from the pet store? Should I buy pellets?Are cantaloupe's,lettuce,corn,and banana 🍌 good for them?
Anabelle_ Ferraer ... It would be kinda hard to give them a complete diet without a good pellet that offers everything in one but you could try just be sure to do a lot of research first. :)
I NEVER fed mine pellet food, I feed mine dried mango, coconut, meal worms, dried shrimp, fruits, red clovers, and stinging needle leaves. I also add Green sand and they love it.
Same diet for my hermit crabs well almost I just have different store Bought Foods
The pellets have a ingredient that’s called copper sulfate and another called fish meal those ingredients cause molting problems
How often do u change the pellets? PS love ur hermie vids pls make more!🐚🦀
Rocco The Linnie ... every other day :)
I am looking into getting hermit crabs.
My brother had cared for them in 1st grade and loved then.
For level of care do you think hermit crabs are somewhat easy to take care of and take up a lot of time.
I have a few fish, dog, and am getting snails soon.
Thank you for this!!! I have been thinking about getting a hermit crab for my son. These videos have really helped me. ❤
Can i feed them raw meat and can i put stor bought crickits with the crab to eat
I was told I need to change their food monthly but you say to feed them every day??? Help!
Can you call Palisade you just talk about can you send sent me to pick the label and when you get the pallet field food
I got 29 goddamn hermits then 1 hermit leaved his shell btw i also dropped pepper then crabs start eating
I am a club food what’s a good thing for them like frozen food at Falls in vegetable
Is it ok to just feed them veggies? I don’t want to take the risk of poisoning them with Store bought food.
Hey Lori I got the FMR treat u recommend I found it in my pet store unfortunately there was only one
Hey, I'm planning but another crab BECUASE I had three but two were my brothers and it ripped mine to sheds. Obviously I was devastated so I held off of crabs.. now I'm panning to get 1 😂 do you mind doing all the basics on crabs? Like how to feed, how to make water for them, bathe, heat, water down, clean, cage set up and what I need to get 😅 so much things but it would mean the world to me :) I'm just scared I'll kill them :( I'm also on a budget, love you btw 💛💛💛💛💛😉👑✨
LPS CutieTV tbh u have to treat crabs like exotic animals and u can't really have a budget because they are quite expensive to take care of
Is the fact your hermit crab died humorous?
I am wanting to get around 2-3 hermit crabs in my around 30 gallon tank. I did some research. I will be buying normal shells, not painted, and I will be getting a under the tank heater, and a thermometer, and humidifier. And I will mist them down. And I’ll get the coconut stuff for the bedding, and the two different waters, all safe. Salt and normal clean, without chemical waters. (I will be getting other items too, but these are the basics I am thinking about..) is there anything necessarily? I do not believe I need a heating lamp, but any suggestions? Thank you!
My only suggestion is to not buy them, I don’t encourage anyone to get hermit crabs 💗
I just got mine he is in a little keeper thingy nothing to climb on no pool or anything i told my parents it isn't a good place to keep him
So this isn’t about there food but is it ok that my substrate is all at a slope one sides more shallow the other is a bit higher about 5 inches
