I recently purchased three hermit crabs and have them in a ten gallon aquarium with humidity/temp guage, heating pad on one tank side, an aquarium hood cover to help hold in humidity, good substrate (coconut fiber + hermit crab sand 50/50 ratio), salt water dish, fresh water dish, food dish, and have all been offering fortified hermit crab food/coconut flakes/fresh fruit the first few days.
Two of three crabs are making appearances (Hans Solo and Leia). But Luke (not so ironcially given his name
, is proving to be antisocial. He has buried himself, and hasn't come up much for eating/drinking/to surface/socialize with the other two (who are always at surface). I know it can take up to two weeks or a little more for crabs to adjust to the rhythms and motions of their new settings, but am a little concerned. I also have read about crabs having different personalities, which I am starting to see in mine. Any help recommended to help make Luke's adjustment easier transition wise (I have only had them for five days, and he has surfaced to hang out with them in shells a bit, but mostly unseen underground). Thanks everyone!
