Question
I have two more qestion for you are bloodworms safe for hermit crabs and my new hermit crab(steel wolf)keep pinching me thank you for ansering my qestion.

Answer
Dear Edan,
thank you for your question.
Some crabs are just unfriendly, but most will get friendlier and more relaxed around you after a while. Usually, a crab only pinches when it's afraid to fall, try just letting him walk around on your palm while your hand is placed on the floor or in the crabitat.
Bloodworms are safe for crabs and a good source of animal protein.
I hope I was of some help to you
