The kit does not include a heat source, and hermit crabs need stable warmth to stay healthy — look for a thermostat-controlled option sized for a 38 litre enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow many hermit crabs can this kit house?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoo Med doesn't publish a specific number for this kit size. Hermit crabs are social and generally do best in small groups, but stocking depends on crab size — ask in-store if you're planning a specific setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the screen top for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt provides ventilation while keeping crabs contained. Because hermit crabs also need humidity, many keepers partially cover sections of the screen to slow moisture loss — monitor humidity rather than guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZooMed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293329015075,"sku":"ZM288","price":379.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/ZM288_1.png?v=1782882874","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/zoo-med-repti-habitat-hermit-crab-kit","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
