HCA recommends that your substrate be at least 2-3 times as deep as your largest crab.
Be sure to have a look at the 'basics' care sheet for how to set up a basic tank for your crabs.
You will need to feed a varied diet that includes animal protein, calcium, vegetables, fruits, eggs, nuts, seeds, greens. Check out the 'nutrition' care sheet for full info. Pellets often have preservatives that are not safe long term.
