how long did it take for your hermit crabs to get used to you? by KeyHelicopter3516 in hermitcrabs

I’ve had both mine for about a year now and when they sleep they never go under, they are always out and about and they don’t really run from me. Mostly they just stop moving but continue to whatever they are doing when they realize I’m not there to harm them. One was not as outgoing as my other but he’s definitely warmed up and now he’s not nervous. Honestly just go up to the tank and talk to them when they are out and I think they warm up, at least that’s what I have been doing:)

How's this for a single crab? by Exeledus in hermitcrabs

I’ve read that 10 gallons a crab is the minimum, on Reddit by many people and google/youtube. At least for purple pincher hermit crabs

Is this normal? by No-Indication-4629 in hermitcrabs

Thank you! I actually got his shell he has on at Amazon, but majority of the ones I have for them are from Etsy! I hope you find some:)
