ok we have one hermit crab but are upgrading this weekend and adding another but i have priced everything ahead of time...
You can buy a average size cage with supplies or without at a petstore for about 25 dollars. The crab costs about 6 dollars. While at the beach we bought our first cage for 15.99 and the crab was free but here in Kentucky things are a bit pricer. What we are upgrading to is the following
5 gallon glass aquarium tank $10
screen for tank 5.00
Cholla wood for climbing 4.00
gravel for crab (easier to clean than sand) 4.00
large pond 5.00
3 sponges 2-3 dollars each
feeding shells 2.00
and any other accessories you want to add
At www.petco.com there is a crab habitat that is about 18 dollars i am sending you the link to it.
You can see that it all depends on how much you want to invest in your pet and what you want to spend! hope all this helps... but just to let you know crabs do better if they have more than one to a cage they like to have buddies!
well I dont really have any links. I bought my hermit crabs at one of those 'junk shops' when I went to myrtle beach. They have them all on the eastern/southern coasts. Basically any pet stores have them. They are cheap %26 you can pick out cute shells. But beware: they do pinch and it'll hurt and they can sometimes be mean.
hermit crabs are probly one of the most least expensive pets. probly the same as a fish. they are easy to care for too. when i was little i had a couple and i made obsticale courses for it and my sis on a leash on his shell and took him for a walk! lol. they are fun litter critters. good luck. :-)
There is a lot of new research regarding pet hermit crabs-starting off with they need a much larger tank than most people have mentioned.
