What kind of food do hermit crabs need?

Hermit crabs are omnivores, so they can generally eat what you eat, provided there's enough variety to meet their nutritional needs. Hermit crabs need protein —whether from animal, seafood, or grub sources as well as fruits and vegetables. It's also important to provide calcium, whether raw or in supplement form, to keep their exoskeleton strong.

How often should I feed hermit crabs?

Hermit crabs should be fed once a day. Because they're nocturnal, many keepers like to set out their food in the evenings. Just remember to remove anything that will spoil or go bad in the morning.

How much food do you feed a hermit crab?

If you're feeding your hermit crab commercial food, you can set out one teaspoon a day or follow the specific instructions on the packaging. If you're feeding your hermit crabs food from your kitchen, observe how much gets eaten throughout the day to learn how much they eat.
