Land Hermit Crabs seeks to inform dedicated hobbyists and casual crabbers alike about the requirements—minimal though specific—of land hermit crabs to keep their pets alive and healthy. Due to the low cost of hermit crabs, too many keepers carelessly allow their pets to die unnecessarily. The author says that the “high mortality of captive hermit crabs is [due to] the failure [of keepers] to provide a proper environment.” This Advanced Vivarium Systems title provides detailed information on the selection of a health crab, housing, water and feeding requirements, molting, breeding, behavior, and health and other husbandry-related problems. Crab enthusiasts will also be interested to read about other crabs for freshwater aquaria in the final chapter, with photos of and information about fiddler crabs, red-clawed freshwater crabs, coconut crabs, and land crabs. Resources and index included.

2.0 out of 5 starsnot impressed

By Writing_about_stuff on November 20, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

There was a lot of misinformation in this book. There are far better resources online. This book suggested numerous things that would negatively impact the health of a pet land hermit crab. There were, however, many interesting things in this book. I especially enjoyed reading about other species of crabs. I liked the visual aspect of this book. There were many pictures of things that you just could not see without this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book on Hermit Crabs

By Happy D on July 19, 2011

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Not all that much is know about hermit crabs, and this book not only tells you what is known it is pretty clear about what is not known as well. I think it is a great read before or after deciding to get a pet Hermit Crab.
