Cool land hermit crab

ive just bought 2 small land hermit crabs and they are really cool. i know the basics of them but was just wondering if anyone has had experience with them too?

Re: land hermit crab

mine are in a medium size plastic tank with a small heat mat. ive got crushed coral as a substrate but u can use sand. they eat special crab pellets, fish food and most fruit and veg(well they eat anything).
ive got a small "pool" for them to drink wash in and to keep up the humidity.
they are cool they are really active at nite and sometimes make a squeaking sound at each other.
