Class Pet Hermitcrab

Post by RockHound » Fri Sep 27, 2024 7:19 pm

Hi, I am a pre-school teacher who was given the chance to get a hermitcrab as a class pet and after doing some reading online and here, I'm a bit worried about how to properly take care of our new hermitcrab. There's only so much that I can do and would like some feedback/help to make the best of what I've got and can do within my control. Here is a picture of the current setup for the hermitcrab for the class. (I apologize just putting the links, I'm not very tech savvy and I couldn't figure out how to attach a picture.)

If there are any questions about more specifics, I'm more than happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

Have you had a look at the 'basics' care sheet? I would start with that, and go from there.
It's hard to tell the size of your tank from the photo. Do you have a thermometer/ hygrometer?

If you don't want to use links, you can also add pics by downloading the Tapatalk app.

Here is the basic care sheet that Curly mentioned:
