What do you if your hermit crab wont eat?

If your hermit crab is not eating, there are a few things you can check:

1. Check the temperature and humidity of the habitat. Hermit crabs are tropical animals and need high humidity (around 70-80%) and warm temperatures (around 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit). If the habitat is too cold or too dry, the crab may not be eating.

2. Make sure the crab has access to fresh water. Hermit crabs need access to fresh water at all times. Make sure the water dish is clean and filled with fresh, dechlorinated water.

3. Offer different types of food. Hermit crabs are omnivorous and eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. Try offering your crab a variety of foods to see what they like. Some popular foods for hermit crabs include:

* Fruits: apples, bananas, grapes, mango, papaya, pineapple

* Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, cucumber, green beans, peas

* Meat: boiled chicken, cooked fish, shrimp

* Fish: salmon, tilapia

* Other: cuttlebone, freeze-dried mealworms, hermit crab food mix

4. Check the crab's tankmates. If the crab is being harassed or bullied by its tankmates, this can cause them to stop eating. Make sure the crab has plenty of places to hide and feel secure.

5. Take the crab to a vet. If the crab is still not eating after trying the above suggestions, it may be sick and should be taken to a veterinarian who specializes in reptiles and amphibians.

Hermit crabs can go through periods of not eating, especially during molting. If your hermit crab is not eating for more than two weeks, it is important to take them to a vet.
