Answer 1

OK tank.... no more than 4 crabs per 10 gallon.

Two water dishes.. one for fresh one for salt water. (sea salt) sea sponge for crab to suck water from

A food dish.

Sand, or other substrate. should be deep enough to fully bury the largest crab you have

Under tank heater or heat lamp (lamp will suck away humidity )

2-3 shells per crab in various sizes so when they want to change they have choices.

A hiding place like a coco hut or cave.

something for them to climb on.

Food should consist of commercial hermit crab food, pieces of fresh fruit/veggies.

Hope this helps!
