Hermit crabs are difficult to raise because they have very high requirements for the living environment. The temperature must be maintained between 21-25 degrees and the humidity must be maintained at 50% to 70%. Hermit crabs also need to be constantly replaced as they grow. For large shells, the bottom sand needs to be replaced every 6 months or so. Otherwise, the bottom sand will be too dirty and the hermit crab will be unwilling to enter the shell and die.

Precautions for raising hermit crabs

1. When raising hermit crabs, use a clean and sterile glass box, and spread fine sand with a thickness of 3 mm on the bottom of the box. Before raising hermit crabs, Soak the hermit crabs in warm salt water for 2 minutes to remove parasites, and then sprinkle calcium salt into the glass box to attract the hermit crabs into the box.

2. During the process of breeding hermit crabs, the glass box should be cleaned every half a month or a month to avoid the generation of bacteria.

3. When raising hermit crabs, you must provide them with sufficient fresh water and salt water. You need to prepare two water basins to fill them separately. The water basins filled with water should ensure that the hermit crabs can enter and exit freely. Get enough moisture.

4. If you raise two hermit crabs of different sizes, you need to put stones or sponges in the water basin.
