HCA: Hermit Crab Association

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?

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.
