any hermit crab keeper?

Hi all,

anyone here keeps hermit crabs? they seem pretty hardy to me.. able to live out of water for a long time.. thinking rearing some.. any tips or suggestions?

For starters, you prob need empty shells of varying sizes scattered about for the hermit crab to utilise once it outgrows it's current shell

they are hardy. but if you keep more than one.you need tank large enough for them to hide during molting.i have one for almost a year. normal diet are apple.fish food n coconut. u need provide fresh water. n also a humid condition

Hi everyone,

I caught a hermit crab during one of my diving trips overseas and have kept it as a pet for 2 months now. Would like to put it up for adoption as I only have 1 hermit crab (needs a companion). It's most likely a male hermit crab (estimating from its physical features). Please pm me if you are interested. Will only allow you to adopt if you have experience handling hermit crabs, thanks!

please allow me to help. can collect asap.

regards
