Question
hi,
I am getting my first 2 hermit crabs in a week and me and my family go camping alot and i was wondering can i take my hermit crabs? If i could would i be able to take them?

Answer
Congratulations! How long are you gone when you go camping? Crabs really need a minimum of a 10 gallon tank. Traveling with a glass tank can be dangerous. If you were only going to be gone on weekends it's perfectly safe to leave your crabs with food and water for that long.
