Hello everybody.
When the babies hatch put how many will their be because online it said the mother can lay 800-50,000 eggs and i dont want thousands of hermit crans in my tank. My best guess is 5-20 hermit crabs will survive
Baby hermit crabs
Re: Baby hermit crabs
Don't worry. Even with best condition and thousands of larvae only a few hundred will reach the stage of megalopa. And then they will eat each other, till there are some left.
So, you are very lucky, if you even have some at the end, in shells and then at land.
