On the feeding of hermit crabs

Hermit crabs, mainly found on the coastal edges of the Yellow Sea and the southern sea, generally live in rock crevices on sandy beaches and seaside. Hermit crabs take spiral shells as parasites, usually crawl with negative shells, and will immediately shrink their bodies into the shell when they are frightened. With the gradual growth of crabs, hermit crabs will look for new shells to change shells. Dozens of known species of hermit crabs are known, and the more common species along the coast of China are square wrist hermit crab and chlamys farreri. The square wrist hermit crab is slightly larger than the chlamys farreri, and the maximum diameter of the hermit snail can reach more than 15 cm. Hermit crabs can be raised with fish tanks or larger glass cans, plastic cans and other containers, the bottom covered with sand and gravel, built into a slope. Adjust the concentration of 0.4-0.5% salt water, flooded to the slope 1 stroke 3-1 stroke 4, if possible, you can also install a small filter. Hermit crabs can be fed with minced fish, clams or shrimps. Food should be placed on sand noodles and fed once a day. Unfinished food should be cleaned up in time to avoid polluting the water. You have to change water every week in summer and a little longer in winter.
