Gonzo The Hermit

[Pointy_kitty]

yea, I have a hermit crab that i recieved from my FIRST grade teacher! He mostly just sits around like Gonzo thier and just watches what i have to do, i think he's approching around 13 years now. How old do average land hermit crabs live and what else do they eat(mine is very picky and only eats FMR treats that i have to special order for him! )

they average around 20 years old
they can eat a ton of things like fruits and veggis (make sure to look up which specific ones because there are a few they can't have)
they can also have shrimp pellets (soaked to be soft), peaunut butter, soggy dog food and a ton more


just an update
my little equadorian hermit crab just died
i had only had him for 2 months and he had dropped a leg due to the poor conditions of the store
i thought he was getting better but in the end the shipping was too much and he droppped a second leg and died a few days after
i did everything i could
he just wasn't a fighter

i think they can also eat tiny amounts of beef and other red meat too. you might just wanna check that to be sure though
