Did I make a mistake?

Post by Plasmoc » Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:13 pm

Tonight I redid my hermit crabs tank and added a faux vine made of PU with a wire in the middle and a coconut hut. It’s sold as a climbing vine and hit for for bearded dragons.

I’m second guessing if this the vine safe for him. Do I need to remove it ASAP?

King Crab is a strong, healthy crab that we’ve had for…. I’ve lost track of how many years.
20 gallon tall tank conditions:
Substrate is a mix of playsand and eco-earth of sandcastle consistency.
Humidity is 81%, temperature is 79 degrees
10 shells of various sizes
Two UTH that are on one corner of the tank
Fresh & saltwater provided at all times
Wide variety of fresh and dried foods that cover the hermit crab food pyramid.

The vine is safe, but they may pick at it. If you notice them trashing it, take it out. But the wire in it is totally harmless.

Phew thank you!! So far he’s ignoring it and digging around, but I was worried he’d pick at it. Glad to know it’s safe if it does pick at it. :)
