Hi Everyone!
I'm completely new to Hermit Crabs and have been researching them like crazy. I originally thought they would be a nice, fun, easy pet to get my three year old and now I realize how much more work they are. Instead of deterring me it has made me want them so much more! I have done so much research and know what I need to get started and take care of them but what are some things that you have found are better than others? I am currently going to be using a 20 gal tank and planning on having no more than three crabs in there right now as to not end up exceeding the limit of 5 gal per hermie but I'm wondering what is the best way to utilize my space. I want to build a ramp that can go up to a platform with the shell shop or moss pit on it. Any suggestions? Also, I want to buy more shells and be prepared but I don't know what species of hermie I will end up getting. Is there kind of a universal shell or maybe a good place to buy/order an assortment of natural shells for them so I am prepared? I want to have as much ready for them as I can.
THANK YOU!
