How to Care For

Hermit Crabs

• Hermit Crabs live on beaches. Beaches are hot and humid so Hermit Crabs will need 70% - 80% humidity, and 70 to 80 degrees fahrenheit for temperature.
• Beaches have lots of Salt Water. Hermit Crabs need salt water to bathe.
• You will need lots of extra shells becuase hermit crabs grow and they will need to switch them out.
• They will need a good diet of fruits and vegetables. Hermit crabs can actually eat a lot of human foods because they are scavengers.

This was my pet hermit crab Salty. He sadly passed away a few months ago, but luckily I was able to take this picture of him!

             

This is a drawing of a hermit crab that I drew on a website called Kleki. I used my school computer mosue pad to draw. It was quite chalenging, but I think the finished product is nice.
