Super late reply but how would I set it up? Do you have pictures or a guide?

How can I keep up the humidity in my tank? My fogger broke down and my crabitat was dry so I had to spray it with water. Any products recommended need to get something quick.

Also my mom didn't de-chlorinate his drinking water ( might not have been why he died ). Should I continue to get hermit crabs? They way I've been to...

I never see him eat, and the food bowl doesn't noticeably change in food amount ( do they just eat very little ) He also never digs anymore even with his new easier to dig in sand. Is t...

Are they different to maintain or care for?
