Anyone on here ever have hermit crabs?
I just rescued two. The people who had them were not taking care of them. I read a lot online but would like to know anyone else's personal experience with hermit crabs and any advice.
They barely had an inch of substrate in their tiny enclosure. They are now in a 40 gallon tank with 7inches of sand/coconut fiber mix.
I put climbing toys and hide out caves in their tank along with a food bowl, fresh water bowl and salt water bowl.
The one crab lives in the food bowl. The other has buried himself and he can't be seen. Is this behavior normal? I read about molting and to leave the one alone (which I have). I have only had them for a day. Is there anything else I should be doing for them?
