Hermit Crabs?

[pdrobber]

My red foot relentlessly bites the shell of the crab I added to the enclosure. So I have been keeping it in a separate small enclosure.

This is all really interesting. I would never have thought of this for the red foots. The only problem is that mine are outdoors most of the year and there is no way I could keep a hermit crab in the pen. And when I keep my torts inside, they run around on the floor of my sun room. I could try this with my hatchlings, but I would be afraid that the crabs would hurt them.

Getting hermit crabs tommorow! This is so cool! How many ya think can go in my 6'x3' tort table with 3 5-7 inch RF torts in there?
And how many in my 36"x18" with two 9 month old redfoot babies?
Thanks!

Well I happen to have a pet hermit crab with his own little enclosure but after reading this I was wondering if it would be okay with my 2 6 month old sulcatas? If not that's fine my buddy's okay in his own little thing anyways just curious.

This may be a stupid question, but how do you change your substrate and find all the isopods?

And not being rude but how do you sleep at night knowing there are roaches in your house. I'm sorry but roaches freak me out!!!

1. hermit crabs and sulcata- no, sorry, the habitat is not similar enough (unless you are raising your sulcata in a rain forest environment).

2. Isopods are not roachs. Isopods are wood lice or rolly-polly bugs.
