Bugs as Pets (Animal Planet Pet Care Library Series) Book

Borrowed from the Rockwall County Library.
Good information on how to keep hermit crabs. The best thing about it is that the book stresses that hermit crabs must be kept humid. A lot of people buy them and don't realize that they need high heat and humidity or they will eventually die. The author suggests glass cages instead of wire cages and a glass lid to keep the humidity in. He also says that they need deep substrate to dig in for molting, even though on one page a picture shows a supposedly ideal crabitat with shallow gravel on the bottom. He suggests sand or gravel as substrate, but my favorite substrate is the ground coconut shells, sometimes called Forest Bedding or Eco Earth. Good intro for kids and lots of great pics. If you get your kids hermit crabs, make sure you or they read a good hermit crab book like this one and your pets will live a long time.
