Introduction

If you’ve decided that hermit crabs are the pet for you, congratulations! You’re about to embark on one of the most rewarding experiences in a lifetime. Although they might look like they’re just sitting around all day, hermit crabs are actually very active and intelligent creatures who will thrive under the right conditions. That said, buying a terrarium can be an overwhelming experience if you don’t know what to look for or what questions to ask yourself before making your purchase. In this article we’ll cover everything from setting up your new habitat to maintaining it once it’s ready for its new residents. So let’s get started!

What To Know Before Buying Your Hermit Crabs a terrarium

• What size terrarium to buy?

When it comes to the size of their house, hermit crabs require a minimum of 2 square feet per crab. For example, if you have 3 crabs, you will need at least 6 square feet. You can do this by having two or three smaller tanks or one single large tank with dividers inside. Whatever way you choose, just remember that if your tank is too small for them, they will get stressed and not be as happy as they could be!

• How much room should each crab have?

Each crab needs about 2 square feet of space in its home. So if you’ve got more than one little guy sharing his shell with another (or several more), make sure he’s got enough space! In general though: If a hermit crab has plenty of room but still feels crowded, it might mean it wants another shell mate—more on that later!

What to know before you buy a hermit crab

Before you buy a hermit crab, there are certain things you need to consider first. First, make sure you have the right size terrarium. How big is your tank? You want to be able to give the crabs enough space to move around in, but if the terrarium is too big they will just roam around aimlessly and be unhappy. If it’s too small they won’t have enough room for their shells or food and water bowls.

Second, what type of substrate do you want? Do some research on this—I recommend checking out YouTube videos as well as reading online forums and articles like this one! There are many different types of substrates that people use with their pet hermit crabs: sand (which most people use), coconut fiber, eco earth etc… It all depends on what kind of look/feel/texture you’re going for in your tank. Some substrates can get messy so keep that in mind when choosing yours!

Thirdly, what type of food should I give my pet hermit crab? That depends on which type(s) of animal(s) he or she likes best 🙂 You can find countless recipes online but remember: do not add anything *besides* those two ingredients unless otherwise instructed by someone who knows what they’re talking about (e g veterinarians). When buying pre-packaged foods from stores like Walmart make sure there aren’t any artificial colors added before purchasing them for safety reasons because some animals may react negatively toward these additives.”

What to know about a hermit crabs habitat

Here are some things to consider when looking at a hermit crabs habitat:

• The right size. Hermit crabs are relatively small creatures, so you don’t need the biggest terrarium on the market. You should be able to find one that fits your budget and provides enough space for your crab(s).
• The right shape. Hermit crabs spend most of their time underground, so it’s good if you can find one with a “den-like” shape that offers plenty of nooks and crannies for them to explore (this is also good because it means they won’t be able to escape). It might seem strange at first but this makes sense if you think about how they live in nature – they need somewhere dark and cool where they can hide from predators and other dangers while they sleep during the day before coming out and exploring when night falls! In addition, having plenty of hiding spaces helps keep your pet entertained by giving them something interesting to look at every time they peek out from inside their shell!”””
