Can i use something other than sand in a hermit crab tank?

Question

i know they like to dig so does anyone have any ideas of something i could use instead of sand for the bedding in my hermit crabs' tank?

Answer 1

yes you can use small pebles that you can find at a local pet store walmart just about any wear that sells fish

Answer 2

they sell something called eco-earth that is made up of coconut fibers - mine LOVE this stuff, plus it helps with the level of humidity in your tank

or you can buy it in bricks (cheaper but a pain in the butt to prepare)

Answer 3

u could use little pebbles or stones of some kind. They like to burrow in that.
