Future LHCs mom preparing
Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2017 9:52 pm
As stated in the topic, I'm a future mom of, hopefully, 3 LHCs. I have two dogs and two hedgehogs and know the importance of research, which is why I'm asking the following questions:
a) I intend to mix Zoo Med's Eco Earth along with play sand, since this coconut fiber is refined and can hold moisture well. Some people have reported finding mites in their tanks, what is the best way to prevent this, in addition to cleaning the tank regularly and washing and baking the substrates?
b) I've read this is okay, but, I want to double-check: Would it be okay for me to put fiddler crabs (mini crabs) with my hermit crabs?
c) What is the best diet for LHCs and, would it be okay for me to feed them canned mealworms, crickets and grasshopers, as they are a great source of protein?
d) Can LHCs have a little pure, unrefined, cold-pressed, 100% extra virgin coconut oil mixed with their food?
Thanks,
