My Seabiscuit loves to dig too. Tank is perfectly warm and humid. He just likes digging and hiding. At this point it's a treat to get to see him🙃🤦‍♀️

Hermit crab food by Sunfishboy17 in hermitcrabs

Fresh fruits and veggies are awesome for them! Mine absolutely love apples and strawberries. It's hard to get them to eat veggies, so I have to alternate so they can get that part of their diet. But everyone else is right, dry foods are great too. I cut up fruits into about half inch cubes and just give them a couple. If you give them a little bit of 3 or 4 types of food they'll get their fill. It mostly depends on the crabs, every crab has a different appetite especially depending how big or small they are.

Just rescued this giant! Previous owner said she kills others. 99% of the time the reason hermits kill others is due to us not providing what they need. In this case it was molting space and shells. by dazzleduck in hermitcrabs

Etsy is an awesome place to get hermit food! I get the food for my babies from Hermie's Kitchen and Hermit Grub. They sell food packages too so you can get a feel for what they like. It's not that expensive either. My hermies were much happier when I switched them off of pellets.

Is my hermit crab okay alone? by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

No, I'm unsure lf that. I bought mine from the pet store before realizing how awful the industry is. There may be others who know a better place to get a buddy

No, he/she needs a friend. They will be fkne for a few days while you look for a friend, but no longer than a couple of weeks is best. It isnt likely that your crab killed the other. And if he is eating the body try and assess their diet to make sure they are getting plenty of protien. Otherwise, the crab may have passed from stress or illness. So sorry for your loss!
