The fog machine and heater are on and he is underneath the hideout in his new tank. I haven’t moved all of the...

This information is not at all in order, sorry. All of the items I use should be safe for crabs. I used to give him mealworms and crickets, but he never ate them. I still try every few weeks, but he rarely touches them. I will try some of the other proteins you recommended. His new tank is a 40 gall...

I’d also like to note that I have tried air plants, and Pumpkin tore them up and made a mess everywhere. I’d l...

oh and some bigger water bowls to keep humidity longer

the heating pad and water conditioner arrived today!! along with some cholla wood to climb on and munch on. I now have a total of $2.60! Worth it for Pumpkin

I...

even though i read a lot about crabs i am still learning and i appreciate the help the site has provided

Yes, but the inside bottom has an acrylic board which will protect from damage due to the moisture and the wood will hold heat better than a glass tank. all the sides have a waterproof coating. If this doesn’t work out, I still have my 15 gallon glass tank. The humidity is now at 85% and the tempera...

He eats “gourmet” hermit crab food from amazon! its more spendy (at least for a 15 year old) but worth it because he loves it. (especially the seafood flavor. right now hes eating the bug blend but he doesnt like it as much) I guess it was easier to keep humidity when i used a heat pad. i’ll order o...

It’s what I’ve been using because Google said it doesn’t have chlorine, but are there other things I should be worried about?

hes very cute

i added his wheel!
