To care for a pet hermit crab, you will need to provide a suitable habitat with a glass aquarium or plastic tank, sand substrate, a shallow dish of fresh and saltwater for soaking, and a hiding spot like a small plastic shelter or coconut shell. Additionally, maintain a warm and humid environment with a temperature of around 75-85°F and humidity levels of 70-80%. Provide a variety of foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, commercial hermit crab food, and calcium supplements. Regularly clean and maintain the habitat, monitor their behavior and health, and handle them gently when necessary.
