You can partially cover the top with some plastic wrap, don't cover it completely. Adding some moss or a natural sponge and keeping them moist will also help. Be sure to change them out every couple days to prevent bacterial or fungal overgrowth. A humidifier in the room where the tank is located will also help by raising the humidity of the entire room.

Ideally for hermit crabs you would have both a dish of freshwater and a dish of saltwater. This is because both types of water have components that are important for the health of your hermit crab. In addition to both of these dishes, you also want to have a food dish present (so a total of three dishes in the cage). Overall, hermit crabs can live longer with access to only freshwater than they can if there is only saltwater available, but again it is much better for them to have both available. I hope that answers your question, and thank you for using Boop by Petco!

Thanks for reaching out about Kirby. Molting is stimulated by environmental cues and growth. If continues to eat and be active, monitoring for now, should be appropriate. Check husbandry such as temperature and humidity and correct problems. If Kirby appears lethargic or anorexic, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

That hinge on her plastron (bottom shell) is normal. It is supposed to appear "split". That allows her to close up securely when she retracts her head. These turtles do not get as big as other species, but a 10 gallon tank is too small. She also needs a UVB light source. Windows will block most of the sun's beneficial rays. You can find a UVB light source in most pet stores. A popular brand is the ZooMed ReptiSun light. They are good eaters, eating a wide variety of animal protein, plant matter and commercial diets.

It is not a good idea to keep freshwater hermit crabs with male bettas as they tend to pinch the fins of the fish. Good tank mates would be White Cloud Mountain Minnows Clown Pleco Pygmy Corydora Ember Tetras Harlequin Rasboras
