What toys can i buy for my LHC on Amazon?
What toys can i buy for my LHC on Amazon?
I'm not sure that my hermit crabs are having fun.
They do walk around at night, but i feel as though they are missing fun toys that I see in other crabitats.
Can anyone recommend some toys or objects i can buy for them on amazon.

I'm not sure about on Amazon but cholla is a favorite. Also cork rounds. Plastic plants (no glitter or fragrance). Aquarium decor is usually safe too. Check out kitchen/bathroom shelves/caddies/baskets to create second levels, moss pits, shell shops, etc.

I've seen people use bird toys too (anything that is not ever green). I would steer clear of most wooden rodent toys, because a lot of them are made of cedar and pine. Same goes for wooden reptile accessories :/ PETsMART sells grape wood too, conveniently in the hermit crab section! Another crab keeper also told me that rodent exercise wheels are a great crab toy too ^^

I have three of these in my tank. I attach them to the walls with suction cups. The crabs LOVE it.

I wouldn't buy anything wooden unless it specifically states what sort of wood it is. Most is okay for crabs but it's better to be safe than sorry.
"Toys" in the crab tank are probably more for our benefit than the crabs. They like to dig, eat, sleep, hang out in moss, climb, and poop in the water dishes. As long as they have something to climb on and places to hide from us, they're good. Mine do use the hamster wheel but I think that's more because they feel like they've been walking for miles and miles as if they were still in the wild.

Yes definitely be cautious about what something's made of before adding it to your crabitat. To me "toys" (when talking about land hermit crabs) = something they can climb on or hide in. Doesn't have to be anything fancy or cutesy. They don't care about that. But it does need to be safe.
