Why Buy Live Hermit Crabs?

1. Hermit crabs are a great way to teach kids about the life cycle of animals
2. They come in all shapes and sizes, so there is something for everyone
3. Buy live hermit crabs from a reputable seller to ensure they have been properly cared for
4. Check your local laws before buying them – some states require permits or licenses to own them as pets
5. Live hermit crabs need a good home with plenty of food and water, plus enough space for exercise
6. You can feed them fresh vegetables like carrots or lettuce, but make sure you remove any uneaten food after 2-3 hours because it will spoil and add bacteria to their environment

Can live hermit crabs be shipped?

Yes, hermit crabs can be shipped. They typically do not make it through the post office or any other shipping mailing service because they are sensitive to heat and Dryness. This is why they must be shipped in a fish/live animal box with water, wet paper towels, and ice packs. But again… they don’t typically make it that far before the postal worker throws them back into water at their temperature of choice (most postal workers keep live feeder crickets or mealworms for fishing). Shipping takes about 8-14 days on average but they relocate fast so it’s hard to tell how long until you get your package!

What do hermit crabs eat?

Hermits are omnivores, meaning that they will eat almost anything! Matter of fact, some hermit crabs have even been known to venture into the water on occasion to feast on small fish. One thing hermits love above all else is snails! Hermits are notorious for searching for this tasty treat in not-so-easily accessible places — so don’t be surprised if you find yours hiding under rocks or up in trees. Many people report success by providing apple slices as well; these strong little creatures apparently enjoy an occasional snack of crisp fruit. Setting your hermit crab up with a habitat filled with moss is also advised; these habitats provide both food and shelter for your critter friend.”
