Humid is finally at 70 something and heat is past 70. Been trying to feed them different fruits and they got their last pealts.
70% is still too low - crabs have modified gills and need higher humidity in order to breathe. Do you have a lid on your tank? Putting a lid, or even using plastic wrap (Saran Wrap) over the top will help hold in humidity. Are you using play sand and coco fiber for the substrate? Is it moistened with dechlorinated water so that it holds it's shape? This will also help increase humidity.
70 is also too low for temperature. Have you moved the heat mat from under the tank, and onto the back? You can also insulate the tank, wrapping some cardboard with tinfoil and taping it onto the tank (careful tho - not all heat mats can be insulated over top, but you can insulate where the mat isn't on the tank). And you can put a folded up blanket on top of the lid of the tank to help hold in heat as well.
Be sure to look at the 'nutrition' care sheet. Crabs can eat much of what we eat. They need a varied diet, including calcium and protein daily. You can take some of what you eat and give it to them - meat, veggies, fruits, eggs including shells, grains, nuts, seeds, etc. They don't eat much, so just little bits of each is fine.
