Wrong wrong wrong, this is a video trying to promote products. That does not make the products right or the information right 1) It should be 10 gall per crab, do not cram crabs into a ten gallon tank. Crabs grow and they'll need more than just 10 gallons. Don't waste your money on a 10 gallon when you know you'll have to upgrade eventually. 2) Do not put a heater under the tank, it'll get in the way of your crabs molting. Instead place the heat pad on the whole back of tank (ABOVE WHERE THE SAND STARTS). 3) Crabs can live up to 30 years. They do not live long in captivity, most only 6 months because how bad they are cared for. 4) They need a fully covered lid to hold humidity, a lid that is not covered allows bugs to get in, heat to escape and the humidity to leave ( you'll be slowly choking your crabs). 5) MAKE YOUR OWN SUBSTRATE (play sand, ecoearth, Oster shells and dechlorinated water), keep in mind that this is a video trying to promote their products. That does not make the products right or the information right. 6) NOOOOOO SPONGES, they hold bad bacteria. Crabs don't drink from a sponge, a simple bubbler in both pools would help boost humidity. 7) Save money by making your own 2 water dishes out of plastic bowls, with a bubbler. That way you can get a REAL pool with moving room. this is a video trying to promote their products. That does not make the products right. 8)Check the wood you are putting in your tank, some wood can be toxic to hermit crabs, like pinewood. 9)Temperature should be 80 to 95 degrees. 10) NO COLORED SHELLS, the paint is toxic. I've had my crabs for 14 years. They are the size of a soft ball now and alot of work. I am not a professional on hermit crabs, but I do know that 9 in 10 crabs sold, die in the first month. I would not advice you to get hermit crabs. NOT for kids. They are only wild caught, and most die of stress before they make it to a crappy pet shop. This is a video trying to promote their products. That does not make the products right or the information right.
10) They are not for holding. They need the humidity in their tank to breath. Just like a fish needs to be in its tank with its water to breath. 11) When your hermit crab is molting underground, it's best to LEAVE THEM ALONE. Digging them up would kill them.
