1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Play sand 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they usually read? Yes in back of tank heat 70 something and humid is 70 something 3....

Humid is finally at 70 something and heat is past 70. Been trying to feed them different fruits and they got their last pealts.

I ended up putting moss in after the 2nd one died

I'm starting to think this hermit crab thing isn't for me because one of them I rescued at the pet store just up and flipping died. Getting sick of this!!!!!!

Are sweet cherries {store bought} safe for hermies?

I hope mine like me too

Still not sure where the humidity should be as I have an air conditioner in my room and I keep the curtains closed so as they don't have to be in sunlight. I also read in a pet store care guide they need uvb or whatever it is. Was confused on that.

I finally bought thermometer humidity gauge today.

Thank you I will def. be looking into those

Thank you

Thank you. How do I make sure that doesn't happen like that again?

I'm concerned that one of my crabs is dead after molting it has not responded to my touch nor my talking, etc. It also lost big pincher after molting.

When a hermit crab molts does it look dead before it moves?

One of mine kept doing that too
