What do your hermit crabs look like when they molt?

Q: I have had my hermit crabs for over a year now and haven’t known when one of them was molting, what do they look like when they molt?

A: signs to look for Digging more than usual (careful: this can also be a sign of improper temperature or humidity, so check your conditions). Eating and drinking more than usual for a bit before the molt. In the last few days before starting a molt your crab may stop eating. Decreased levels of activity, though may seem restless (repeatedly digging, changing shells) Tangled looking antennae and less antennae activity. Ashy color to body. Tips of legs and claws may turn whitish. Cloudy, whitish eyes. Spending more time around water. Molt Sac – just under the abdomen, a sac that stores water to help break the exoskeleton develops. Crabs that are missing limbs start to regenerate their limbs by starting to grow a “gel limb” (a gelatinous bud that eventually grows into a regenerated limb) just before a molt. Legs and claws may seem droopy or weak. Eye stalks may face away from each other in a “V” shape rather than being parallelhope i helped ike.

Does anyone out there actually own any hermit crabs and can tell me some good tips, such as food they will actually eat, best way to kep their tank, and what water should i have in there? fresh or salt or both? Poor Nomad is all alone in the tank, and I dont want him to be the next one to go!

A: We have had hermit crabs for over 15 years now, our eldest guy has been with us for those 15 years. THey are quite easy to take care of once you know the basics. Let me begin by dispelling some bad advice gien here and then I will conclue with 2 sites that will help you out emensly.First do not ever give your hermit crabs tap water! The chemicals and chlorine in most tap waters and heavy metals that can be found in well water is toxic to your crabs.They do not drink from a sponge, that is the biggest myth around. The sponges are used to disperse the humidtiy into the tank air, land hermit crabs drink the water by scooping it up on their small pincher and by subsering themselves into the water.Deep water is fine and in fact reccomended! You must provide both fresh de-chlorinated water and oceanic or marine salt de-chlorinated waters in pools deep enough that your largest crab can fully submerse it;s self into the water. They need this to flush their shells from waste, sand and other debris and to replenish and refresh their shell water for breathing. Plus the larger pools eliminate the need to mist therefor ending the risk of mold, mildew and bacterial infections or what we call shell infections.Do not give them baths, with large pools there is no need. Baths give them stress and does more harm then good.Commercial crab food is terrible for them, it is filled with chemicals and pesticides. Feed them fresh fruits, veggies, meats and fish.Do not feed them junk food like sweetened cereals or salty snacks!!!Table salt will kill them and sugar will as well, there are anti-caking agents in our processed pourable dry goods that are toxic to land hermit crabs.You must provide at least 4 shells per crab extra of the correct type, shape, size and opening shape and size. Measuring the big pincher against the shell opening is key.They must have the salt water in their tank.One crab by it’s self will not thrive, become lethargic and eventually die before it’s time. Ours are over 5 years old except for our newest rescues.You can mix the size of crabs in one tank, and the more the merrier because in the wild (they are still wild by the way) they live in coloonies of 100 and more, so keeping one is cruel.I invite you to contact us anytime at [email protected] please check the links below for everything you need to know!
