Answer
Hi! I'm glad you are doing some research to find out just what the proper way to take care of your crab really is.

I would like you to read this article.

It should answer a lot of your questions.

Then I would like you to visit

www.hermitcrabcuisine.com which will tell you all about what foods you can feed your crab, I would avoid store bought hermit crab foods as they contain harmful additives and are made more from the formula of fish foods than the kind of foods hermit crabs actually need. The most important thing that they need is variety.
