hermit CRABS ----> crustaceans


Only realize that there are many types of crab 
 This is the first time I see hermit crabs that have shell
My landlord went to beach with her grandchildren and caught several hermit crabs which are near the seashore







capturing some photos and uploaded 
in line with this, i goggled the information about these little creatures
i want to know its name,habitat, food,.......
to my surprise , it can be keep as pets
huh ..but kinnda troublesome
indeed about hermit crabs' lifestyle and lifespan
1. care--daily feeding and watering
2.supplement diet --> fresh foods and veggie- not to leave the food in the tank for more than 24 hours
3. need lukewarm water form dry out
4. will molting--- when start to molting ,will be inactive and bury itself for 2 week( take note that small crabs will molt every month and big will only molt once in every 18 weeks)

p/s @ pour a small of lukewarm water over the crab when the crab pinches and refuses to let go
