Can different species of hermit crab live together?
Yes. If you can meet the humidity, temperature, salinity and shell needs for each species, then you can keep different species of hermit crabs in the one crabitat. Land hermit crabs are found in varying habitats so it is best to research where the species you keep are found in the wild, what foods they like to eat, and the temperature and humidity they are accustomed to. The Strawberry Land Hermit Crab in particular is found on coral attols and remote islands which are surrounded by water, and have been observed to swim in salt basins provided by their owners, submerging themselves for over twenty minutes on a daily basis. Each species has its preference for seashell types and has been observing a different diet in the wild.
