FYI, strawberry hermit crabs are being sold at Toby's. If not mistaken there are about 30-40 crabs. Price-wise, rm30 I have been told by staff.

IMHO jumbo crabs take better to keeping in captivity than do smaller ones. But remember strawberry crabs do need a higher amount of saltwater drink compared to the other species of hermit crabs. Normally it is recommended to have two water dishes, one for fresh water and the other saltwater.

Haha have fun finding it, just look out for a moving shell tongue.gif I used to have hermit crab escapes. Ended up finding them as far as in the garden or kitchen.

Hi Awan, you can use coconut fibre instead, as they absorb moisture better than sand. Look for them in garden centres or nurseries, normally labeled as cocopeat. They either sell by block (you need to soak in water to loosen it) or you can buy those in packs already loosen. Very good substrate to use for other pets as well like bugs, spiders, scorpions, reptiles, amphibians etc.
