Question about Crabs going Outdoors

Post by loveFoof » Mon Oct 04, 2021 8:11 pm

Hello again! In a server I'm in somebody asked, "what's the consensus on taking your crabs outside? i like to take my crab outside when the temperature and humidity are the same as the tank, but is that stressful for them?"

I personally would never take hermit crabs outside mainly because where I live, their natural habitat could never be replicated to the point where the humidity would be high enough for them to be in good conditions..

But hypothetically, if the humidity and temperature were in the correct ranges, would it be alright for this person to take their crab outside, or should they stray away from doing that for other reasons?

What are your guy's thoughts?

I don't live where that would even be an option. But there are definitely crabbers who do so, and who have for years.
