Answer 1

just let they die off or give them lots and lots and lots of water

Answer 2

put an add in the paper or but signs on bulliten boards. ask a teacher they may want them for a class room pet.

Answer 3

You don't have to feed them official hermit crab food. Hermit crabs are naturally scavengers, so they like a variety of things. I've fed mine vegitables before. If you really cannot afford to keep them at any cost, you could put an ad in the paper and make money on them. You could set the price at Best Offer, if you aren't sure how much people will pay for them. I hope this helped & good luck (:

Answer 4

can you afford your own food? well then give them peices of your own food they will eat anything!! well ofcourse i wouldnt give them meat and artificial things but fruits vegitables anything in that sort should work but if it really doesnt work out then do craigs list

Answer 5

You can post them on Craigslist.com,for free and ask for a small rehoming fee if you'd like. You will have to provide the state you are in and or city. You can attach pictures of them and be sure to leave some contact info..like your # or email. I hope this helps,good luck.  :) oh and DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE WILD. please just sell them,or give them to a nearby petshop maybe theyll take them.

Answer 6

Easy......Let them go!!

Answer 7

Offer a local pet store the hermit crabs. If you want to keep them you can feed them plain fruit or peanut butter, and veggies. Do not let them go outside! For a establishment put them in a deep rubbermaid continer with holes a secure lid.

Answer 8

I also used to have threee hermit crabs, but I didn't even bother to buy food for them. They would eat dead crickets, peanut butter, or even potato skin peals. They would eat finely chopped nuts too. And their tank, just go to Petsmart or Petco, and lok they usually have sales on their hermit crab kits. And you cannot let them go if you live somewhere where a cold beach is, or if it gets cold in that area. Probably somewhere near florida of California, or probably even Texas. Any where that stays warm, for year long. And, if you still want to let them go, just put them online for sale, or give them to  a local pet store, if they accept them, or just put them in the paper. Or, if you live somewhere where it is warm year long, Go to a beach, and let them FREE! (Only if their are other hermit crabs there.)
