How to raise hermit crabs
The crabs on the beach should be ordinary terrestrial hermit crabs, which are not so demanding on salt and easy to raise, but they still need to provide salt to live for a long time. You need to provide it with

1, shelter: They like to hide, especially in small dark corners and places with tops (that is, places where they can't see the sky when they look up).

2, birdbath: it is best to have two, one salt water and one fresh water. They sometimes drink and sometimes take a bath. Don't use edible salt for salt. Go to the fish market for cheap artificial sea salt blocks. The salt water is lighter than strong.

3, sand, the average size of two millimeters of sand is the best, too thick for it to dig holes, too thin to easily enter its shell, affecting health. They will dive into the sand when shelling, and they will dive into the sand when adapting to the environment and the environment is too dry. The thickness of the sand should be twice as thick as that of hermit crabs.

4. They are very sensitive to vibration, and they will be alarmed if the sound is too loud or the feeding box is moved frequently.

5. It's best to have a lid on the container that keeps them. Don't seal it and expose the vent. This will moisturize them. If the humidity is too low, their gills will slowly kill and suffocate, which is very uncomfortable ...

6. Conditionally prepare one or two slightly larger shells for them, and they will change their lives according to their preferences.

7. Their active time is 1 1 pm-5 am, so they are usually fed at night and taken out in the morning to avoid attracting ants and cockroaches.

That's all I think of for the time being. If you have any questions, please continue to raise your hand ~
