How to Feed Hermit Crabs

Hermit crabs are very attractive, and many people keep them as pets, so what do hermit crabs eat? What are the feeding precautions?

First of all, let's talk about the living habits of hermit crabs on the land. They live by the sea. The common food is the remains of some dead fish, the dead snail meat in the seaside shells or the floating algae on the seaside. Therefore, in the choice of food, if it is a food with a strong taste, such as a fishy smell, it is the favorite of hermit crabs.

Of course, in our feeding, it is impossible to give very stinky food, usually dried fish and dried shrimp with a fishy smell. In addition, it is necessary to maintain balanced nutrition, such as from the perspective of vitamins, carbohydrates, etc. Hermit crabs are also omnivores, we can also give rice, coconut flakes, apples and other fruits, they are all eaten. There are also crab rations specially prepared for hermit crabs on the market. You can also prepare some for hermit crabs, with a special nutritional ratio to satisfy the intake of nutrients such as calcium and protein.

You can prepare more foods with carotene, and at the same time, you should also place water plant lamps to simulate sunlight, which is convenient for hermit crabs to develop a better color. If you keep strawberry hermit crabs, you know the pain of fading.

Because hermit crabs are active at night, the general feeding time is also at night. The food to be fed should be broken into granules or blocks. If the hermit crab is relatively large, the block can be larger; if it is a small crab, the food should be smaller, so that the hermit crab will eat cleanly and waste. The next day, check to see if the hermit crab has any remaining food, and clean it up so that it does not fall on the bedding to breed bacteria. You can feed them some food containing carotene so that the color of their carapace will be more gorgeous.

We also encounter the molting of hermit crabs in the breeding process. Generally, the hermit crabs will eat the old skins during the molting process to supplement calcium. Therefore, some people say that giving eggshells to hermit crabs can supplement calcium. But I tested it and it seems that hermit crabs are not interested in this food.
