My wife and I stayed on a small island in Fiji, If you sunbathed on the beach they used sit next to us in our shade and when we rolled over sometimes we would lay on some. They also used to come into our hut. |
I would love to see them in the wild in their natural environment, when i first bought them there was another customer saying how cruel it was to have them as pets and that they are marine animals and should be in the sea , which i was a bit annoyed at because she didn't care to find out more about them and find out they are actually land hermit crabs and live inland and only go down to the shore to hatch their eggs

remember seeing them in mangroves as a kid.
i never really taken much notice of them recently, you may have swayed my judgment, super cute little critters.

I buy a commercial hermit crab pellets but always supplement it with coconut, carrots(for beta carotene for their coloring pearl has the most vibrant coloration) also the odd prawn, apple anything really they even like peanut butter so iv heard but not tried it lol there is so much they like but not tried everything yet
Thanks for the interest guys i love them to bits love watching them climb they are surprisingly clever.
