Egg shells are great. Another thing they love, next time you are shopping at a pet store, is a plain cuttlebone (they sell them for parrots). I don't think orange peels are recommended.
Bloodworms, mealworms, and bugs of various sorts are also great sources of chitin, which is another important nutrient for crabs. If your family ever eats shrimp, you can save some of the shrimp peelings and tail (rinse off any spices) and give it to them; that is a great source of chitin, also.

I know this is very important to them. 
I am trying to make a homemade calcium mix but can't figure out what to put in it. 
So far I have crushed eggshell in the mix. 
Are orange peels a good source of calcium for hermit crabs? 
Please give me some tips of what I can put in my calcium mix that I have laying around home. 
Thankyou!
