Tin foil??

Post by Elainedean124 » Mon Nov 30, 2020 4:37 am

Hi everyone! I don’t usually post much but one of my hermit crabs has recently figured out how to climb out of the tank. I have the top of the tank covered in tin foil to help keep humidity in. As part of my crab’s “escape plan,” he ate a lot of tin foil to make a hole big enough for him to slip out. I luckily caught him before he could make it too far from the tank. I’ve fixed where I think he was able to reach the top and I also put some stuff to weigh down the tank lids. Anyway, is he going to be alright from either chewing or ripping up the tin foil? I don’t think he’d eat it but also I’m not sure.
I’ve had purple pincher hermit crabs (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Apollo, and Hephaestus) since May 31st, 2017. Kinda new at hermit crab care, but I’m learning new things everyday!

I’m guessing he only ripped it apart, but if he did eat it it probably isn’t a big deal.
