Question
HI IM BRITTANY OK MY HERMIT CRABS I PUT THEM IN A BIG  BIN  BUT IN OCTOBER I WILL GET MY REPORT CARD MONEY AND BUY THEM A BIGER TAENK BECUS THER OLD TANK WAS TO SMALL IS THIS GOOD FOR THEM UNTILL OCTOBER 17 THANKS BRITTANY101

Answer
The biggest worry about having them in a bin is keeping the temperature and humidity between 74 and 82 at all times. This can stress your crabs. Try to keep them in a warm place and add moist moss and dampen your substrate to keep your tank humid. That should get you through to Oct. 17. Also try looking in the paper or at garage sales for old tanks. Sometimes you can get them for just a few dollars.
