Tips for raising hermit crabs 1. Temperature and humidity.
Since hermit crabs live in subtropical areas, the temperature is suitable to be maintained at 20-30 degrees Celsius. When it is 15 degrees Celsius, their movements will begin to slow down, and they will die if the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius.
You can use a heat blanket or use a UV lamp to maintain the breeding tank at 26~30 degrees.
Since hermit crabs breathe through their gills, they cannot breathe when the humidity is low. Please maintain the humidity at 60-80%. You need to use water with calcium salt (do not give tap water containing chlorine) for 2-3 manual sprays every morning and evening.
Second-rate.
2. Choice of drinking water.
The drinking water can be mineral water, distilled water or cold boiled water. Do not give tap water containing chlorine. Land hermit crabs use their gills to breathe, and water containing chlorine will harm their health.
