  • lol carrots are not fruits

  • Debbie Noah killing land hermit crabs one at a time

  • Please don't listen to this woman. Go do your research instead on how to properly take care of hermit crabs! HCA Hermit crab is a good site to begin with. It has a forum where you can ask any questions or concerns that you have about these lovely species.

  • lair my crabs eat alot

  • crabs are cool!

  • thank you for the info

  • Do hermit crabs drink tap water or spring water??? please repley

  • @Resolutionx1 mine drinks tap water but that can be bad for them because of the chlorine in it. If you use tap water go to your pet store and get something that'll get rid of the chlorine. I forgot what they call it. ;_; But Purified water is fine. has no chlorine in it. :)

  • @Resolutionx1  salt water mate

  • @Resolutionx1 Hey,

    Well hermit crabs drink spring water.I think its heathlier

  • How To Torture Hermit Crabs with Debby

  • DONT place fruit/veggies so that they cover up the staple food, moron!!

  • Hey debbie,a carrot a vegetable,not a fruit the apple is the fruit...not the carrot. lol

  • For five crabs that is not enough food. But if u do have five crabs and they don't eat that food well then they don't like the food u give them.

  • Hemit crabs eat what people eat. Just don't give them salt! Hermit crab food has perservatives in it that will kill them

  • @aboutashow But you can give them salt water. 8)

  • @Kymothy213 yeah, as long as it's not table salt :P

  • @aboutashow yep :P

  • dammit, it's the pig lad again XD

  • Haha, a lil rank..

  • I got mine from this store at the mall called Earth Bound. They're creepy but very fun to play with:)

  • @GiveUsBubbleGum hey!! i also got mine from earth bound... u live in fort worth?

  • The information about hermit crabs on expert village is mostly wrong. If you have any question about hermit crabs (purple pincher), please write me a message or comment on my page. I will be happy to help :)

  • @HermitCrabCare1

    i think so to they suck they think painted shell r good my natural hermit crabs Speedy Nelly and Joe love their natural life I will make information videos on them purple pinchers soon i am a close to expert smiley face i cant type with 2 hands Joe is walking on one right now

  • So much mis-information. I rarely give my hermit crabs hermit crab food (like the store bought she showed) I like to give them fresh fruit and veggies. They mostly eat that. I dont blame them. I wouldn't want to get sick from eatting cheap store brought hermit crab food.

  • sorrry 4 bad language

  • still sooooooooo stupid.......... I'm popular you all ass's

  • if you use organic fruits and vegetables you also needs tons of other nutrients like freeze dried shrimp food for protein and some calcium you can use cuttlebone. If you research on the internet there is a list somewhere on all the foods you can feed it and which ones are toxic. pet store 'hermit crab food' is toxic! dont buy it

  • best hermit crab food: fruit. just buy organic fruit (either dried or not) and put it in the cage, replace it daily, and if you want calcium put in eggshells(sounds gross but it's what has kept my hermit crabs alive for 6 yrs.) Best water: spring water. i've been using Orzarka for 6 yrs. and dont bother with those "water purifiers", they are kinda expensive and complicated.

  • my crabs health is very important to me, i take him for a walk every day.... active little sucker, i can barely keep up. i also have this huge shell with a little water in it and it loves giving itself a bath.. no help from me needed

  • @ereyes28 dont do that! if you take them every day they will die of stress

  • @marthehop24 it was a joke lol.. you know like walking the dog. i dont bother him/her everyday but when i go out of town, i leave it in the tub so it has plenty room and i also let it walk around on the floor... but no, it was really just a joke.

    question- my crabby has been inactive lately.. i dont know what is wrong with it. it doesnt come out of its shell much.. do you know about crabs?

  • @ereyes28

    does he stink

  • Why is there text on top of the picture? I can't see any of the video, only text. Boo!

  • Did you know... you can buy hermit crab kookiez

  • NO ONE USE THE PET STORE BRAND FOOD FOR THE HERMIT CRABS AND ANY OTHER PET USE NATURAL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS! THE PET STORE FOODS SHORTEN THE LIVES OF HERMIT CRABS IN CAPTIVITY. AND DONT USE A SPONGE IN THE CAGE BUT ONLY FOR KEEPING THE CAGE HUMIDITY UP.

  • I barely got a hermit crab yesterday by surprise and your tips are useful, I think?

  • @popsiclegirl1 Alot of her "tips" are wrong especially in the other vids. but ive had hermies for 5 years all still alive and active so if you have any questions dont be scared to ask :)

  • bites? you mean pinched off pieces of food? they dont bite off the food they pinch it off

    shes so mean! why not cut up their food?? i always cut up strawberries and apples for my hermies :3

  • I personally feed my hermit crabs junk food. they love chips and fries!

  • I have hermie food with peaces of grain in it!! its quit healthy!!

  • Debies kool! But its not fair!! Us ppl in QLD dont get all those kool stuff at the pet stores like Hermit crab cokies, or vacation food. We get nothing!! all we get is some hermie food and salt and some toys, but not anything kool!!! :-(

  • Never never never give them pet store food. You just need to give them a variety of foods, without a repeating dinner for at least two week intervals. That is, if I fed my crabs apples and carrots tonight, I won't feed them apples and carrots again before two weeks.

  • carrot isnt a fruite

  • i gave my hermet sum appl an it made him shit all ova da place an i gav him chickn one time i think he iz a black hermet lmfao h loved dat shit

  • everyone stop hating on debbie some of her tips are usefull

  • Everyone is so mean, but she really helped me with this info and now I have a tank full of very healthy hermit crabs!

  • carrot is not a fruit

  • You, sir, are my hero.

  • debbie my hermit wont eat and im really worryed

  • Debbie is always right!!!

  • ty for all the tips

  • I want to have a giant hermit crab pinch your head off and then continue to consume your eyes.

  • Debbie was actually right for once. This video is the right information. Don't listen to any of her other videos. You can already tell that she is a bad hermit crab owner by what substrate she uses and how small her tank is. There are so many other things wrong with that tank I can't even name them all. Sorry Debbie, better luck next time. =)

  • Actually, surprisingly enough she IS right about food. But, I would suggest cutting the fruit and/or veggies in half or so, but hey that's just me. Congrats Debbie on getting something right!

  • Why so mean everyone?

  • @gorguts879 i know its stupid

  • this idiot doesnt know a thing about hermit crabs.....

    actually u cannot use a critter keepers .instead use a 10gallon tank.

    i wonder how her crabs molt

  • i gave mine fita and only one liked it

  • She's actually right about the food. I give my crabs carrots, and the variety bites she showed in the beginning of the vid.

  • So, Debbie.. What species of Hermit Crab are you?

  • Shutup, if your gonna be an ass then dont comment fucker!

  • She's not a species of hermit crabs. They're too cute and nice. She's a speices of mutant mummy cockroaches!!! Run away!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!

  • @Reaper941 u dont have to be mean atleast say something nice like ..."hey that a good crab tank just try to add more sand" dont be a retard and say something mean <-<

  • its good if u buy them from breeders,or a unpainted one,painted one r bad for ur hermies even though its pretty,they actually torture da hermies to get in da shells,i seen a video!plz plz dont support painted shells,i been postin this on all hermit crabs video!!

  • you know when a hermit crab is a boy or a girl by taking the crab look at it's back pair of legs and if you see dots on em it's a girl if theres no dots it's a boy

  • My hermit crab,Melina loves to climb!

  • How do you know if it's a boy or a girl? I'm getting some soon and I want to know :)

  • right know their are different theories

  • Also... how long will it take for my hermit crab to molt? and how will i know when it is safe to pick her up again?

  • it depends on its size. Just wait for it to come up, do not be tempted to dig it up or pick it up PLease.

  • ANYONE... will my hermit crab be ok? she is molting (her exoskelton is already off) and i picked her up not knowing that she was molting... will this hurt her at all? as soon as i noticed that she was molting i put her right back down to where she had been...

  • I've seen hermit crabs that have been disturbed while they were molting that survived, she's probably estreamly stressed and all you can do is not disturb her again, if she has tank mate's I'd put something to protect her from them because right now she probably smells like food to them and we don't want her getting eaten. A cut off coke bottle or a terra cotta flower pot will do the trick to devide her from them without stressing her out even more by moveing her to another tank to be held...

  • ok thanks i will...

  • Im sure it was probably fine, just be careful and keep an eye on it.

  • The same thing happened to my hermie Sherbert. Just put a coconut hut over her so she has some privacy. You can also put water in bottlecaps. In addition to her exo, honey, cuttlebone, crushed coral, peanut butter, and more chitin and calcium foods would be good. I sectioned off Sherbert from the other crabs with a couple of cds (her friends were visiting her in the coco hut quite often and I was scared it was stressing her out). Good luck! :)

  • Ive done that once and he turned out good i had to put him in a seperate cage away from my other crabs cause one was trying to pull him out just mist him EVERY day it should be over in 10 days if not already. Hope this helped :)

  • Take the fruit out after 24 hours? A carrot is a vegetable retard

  • im with Romanchariot1 id like to add something tho... who cares if its an easy clean up with the food! u want to get what the crabs love idc if its a hard clean up i want my hermit crab healthy!!

  • God I hate her voice...

  • pignose debbie i have a message 4 u! i think i am speaking for everyone that are crab lover this is INCORRECT info you are KILLING crabs!!! so i say this to all crab lovers, DOWN WITH DEBBIE!!!!!!!!! PASS THIS ON TO OTHER CRAB OWNERS SO WE CAN STOP THIS HERMIE ABUSE !!! WE WILL TAKE VIDEOS LIKE THIS OFF THE INTERNET ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • EVPERT VILLAGE

  • yeah my 2 hermit crabs i have them in a 10 galon tank i`ll feed them little peices of bananas or little slices of apples thats to much

  • omfg shes like "a little bit of fresh fruit" and she gives it a chucnk thats bigger then the crab! and she said they dont eat a lot but the food bowl was overflowing! i just take a little conner or an apple wedge or carrot wedge, not the whole thing!!!

  • DON LISTEN TO EXPERTVILLAGE!!!!GO TO "Hermit crab forced into painted shells"

  • well im not tryin 2 be mean or n e thing but i only saw 2 crabs maybe there was more idk n e ways that was a lot 4 only 2 most of it will get thrown away idk lol

  • they love bananas

  • a litle big food dishes <.<? i think tehy wana eat not have a maraton acros a giant shell lol

  • lmao!!!!

    thats so funny

  • all of yall need too stop hating leave this poor women alone i know you would like bad comment on yor videos if you made a video.

  • ya mean u wouldnt like bad comments on ur videos? but anyways, i agree.

  • Debbie Noah is one of the most annoyingpeople I've ever seen!! Also, this advice is terrible!! Pet store food is utter trash and what is up with the critter carrier??!!! Take this video off

  • I really hate this old woman I hope she croaks already.

  • this made me rofl in real.... XD

  • ROFL

  • I'm thinking about getting a hermit crab sometime, but I don't live anywhere near a pet store that I can get food at. Would a diet of just the fruits work?

  • yeah.. a few grapes here and there and maybe the occasional mango bits

  • U don't have very good advice! my hermit crabs r doin fine!

  • my hermit crab shelly is trande not to pinch

  • can i give it shrimp pellets?

  • she gives hermit crabs a bad name

  • i am afraid of being pinched... but i want one soooo bad can anyone give me tips (i already say that other video she made)

  • ive been bitten twice by mine and it does hurt. just pick it up by its shell and u should be ok. if u want to put it on the palm of ur hand becareful where u put its claw and how u r holding ur hand.

  • u can wear gloves or try 2 train ur crabs so they cant pinch. or u can not hol them or by the shell

  • I have had hermit crabs for years it does hurt but it is scared so if you pick it up don't move a lot because it will get scared

  • well i've been pinched by my hermit crab spike and he is the small crab, but his pinch hurts the worse. what i do is if i want to put him on the palm of my hand i hold my hand out flat so here are no little folds for him to pinch also, crabs pinch if they feel like they are going to fall so lay your hand on the floor if nessasery.

  • ya use gloves, not garden gloves like whut she says if ur a afariad do what i did use plastic doctors gloves lol

    dont let them get to the powder lol

    them hold them lol my old won when i was trying this when i was litlle would sit on the top of my finget while i watched tv, she fell asleep i miss her lol thy other is still alive and i got 7 now and growing lol! anythin else i can help u with?

  • can i put my vrabs in a fish 20 liter aqurium of course set up for a hermit crab just wondering cause i notice everyone with plastic containers

  • anything is better than plastic small houses glass is better cause it helps make more humidity and its just better

  • Watch out. Commercial foods with preservatives like copper sulfate and ethoxin (or something like that) can kill crabs. its much easier to feed them fruits ,veggies, and a variety of meats. Make sure everything you feed them is free of iodized salt, because that's bad for them.

  • I would like to share something cool I found out with my hermit crabs. THEY LOVE FRUIT LOOPS! xD Try it! :D

  • That will kill them don't give your crabs anymore FRUIT LOOPS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what if your hermit crab tries to eat you because the eat meat too and what if they get out of their while you are sleeping and eat your eyes!!!!!!!!lol!!!!!!!!!

  • i feel sooo bad for this lady. she knows some correct information, but not everything.

  • ya i agree i want that food dish too!

  • i want that food dish!

  • More like retard village.

  • I noticed she has a commercial sponge in there, which may not be good for the crabs and might contain chemicals that are harmful to them!

  • my little crabbies LOVE coconut. they eat about the size of a olive jar lid...in about 48hrs.... yum... I myself eat coconut too...and as soon as my littlest crab ate the coconut, me molted!! today actually... =D Yay ernie!

  • hermit crabs are slow eaters yeah right she hasn't met mine they eat a whole bowl faster then i can take a bit out of an apple

  • i love hermit crabs

    there quite the adventure

  • Check out my video called "The Cool Crab Crew"

    It's about all of my hermit crabs! :)

    Don't they eat rotten ANIMALS and any other weird stuff in the wild? How is it going to hurt them to eat a small piece of rotting<< carrot?

  • Check out my video called "The Cool Crab Crew"

    It's about all of my hermit crabs! :)

    Tip: Commercial Hermit Crab food can be expensive, so just make your own instead! :):)

  • how many fucking times are you going to advertise your videos? THAT VIDEO SUCKS ASS

  • Comment removed

  • WOOOO GO ME!! YAY! IM AN ARROGANT FUCK HEAD! still though, dont watch the crab crew thing,

  • LOLOLOL you are sooo pathetic hahaha it makes me laugh and not in a good way mother fucker

  • why did you remove your comment? Afraid you'd get reported? You are so insanely stupid I don't even think you know. Everything you say is being sent to my stepfather, head of the online harassment department . Have fun buddy.

  • I removed it because my friends will see it and they know my account name. Like I would be afraid to get reported by stupid YouTube, what is the worst they are going to do? Ban me? Ooooh I'm soooo scared. Now you are just trying to make me scared dickhead, so have fun harassing me because I don't have a shit. =@

  • Oh you don't have a shit? Sorry, I didn't quite catch that last bit.

  • Hey dickhead if you could read you would figure out that I corrected myself.

  • Yes but that hadn't appeared before it was available for visualization. Well, I can fight with you still, however, I will be resuming my autonmous vehicle tests.

  • Go do yourself fucker i'm going, I have come to realise there is no point in arguing with such an imbecile like you.

  • Oh lord have mercy, that was such an epic failure. nice attempt to word your comments intelligently, next time, use a thesaurus.

  • I don't think that typos on the Internet are worth arguing about.

    This video is about hermit crabs. Hermit crabs are adorable. Leave your differences with each other at the doorstep!

  • Sorry in the last message I meant **Give a shit** not have a shit

  • umm don 't crabs in the wild eat rotten fish and all sorts of other bad stuff? not saying that you shouldnt empty out the stuff just saying.

  • omg I have that sponge! its a yellow star! XP

  • does the carrot need to be bolied or can it be raw like the baby carrot that you put in the frigde

  • the carrot can be raw, but i buy organic carrots for mine since pesticides are harmful. organic baby carrots can be bought cheaply at walmart. i only give them 1/2 of one per 24 hours.

  • thanks for the tips! Gonna give mine some carrots :)

  • expert village SUCKS

  • u know what crap you debbie!

  • I sincerely hope this woman doesn't own any hermit crabs... my god that tank looks like a death trap. GRAVEL?! What a nightmare! And was that supposed to be a water dish on the other side of the food? I can't imagine any hermits being able to survive in that kind of environment more than a couple weeks.

  • what do you use instead of gravel?

    all sand or those coconut stuff?

  • I just use regular play sand mixed with saltwater- it's cheap and clean and it works. The sand needs to be kept wet enough that you could build a sandcastle out of it, but not like sopping wet. The salt really helps prevent mold from growing.

    You can definitely use the coconut bedding, but it's expensive. I've never tried it.

  • I don't know about health wise exactly but I would imagine natural REAL food is better, obviously if they sell the pellets and powder then the crabs can eat it but would you want to eat the same nasty smelling pellets everyday or would you rather have a piece of banana with some peanut butter on it? don't give them the same food everyday and they'll be less bored and much happier.

  • Who cares if shes ugly?? gawshh.... people should stop caring about looks

  • ''EXPERT VILLAGE''SUCKS!Copy and paste to other vids or this vids if u think they sucks!

  • the wraith if your crab is molting put it in a seperate tank with a shell till its done molting and the reason your crabs died is because of the chlorine in the water it blister's there gills and slowly suffocates them never put them into tap water. periode. if you want them to let go put your hand on the floor or a desk some where clean and then just wait till they crawl off of you it wont take long and this will not damage the crab or you hope i helped singed a dedicated crab lover

  • thankz i have a hermit crab so i needed that tip and it is pinching me right now!!!! oww...

  • expert village is useful. but this bitch is ugly as shit and unhelpful. okay, maybe this vid but the one about how to get a crab to let go of you killed 2 of my crabs, the other died by the molting check all over the internet "lift it up, there should be a pink crab there" FUCK THAT BULLSHIT just leave the crab alone when the others start to dig the molter up or the WHOLE cage smells rancid-- that's when he's dead but bcuz of her, molting' to me and my crabs is like a death sentence

  • Carrots are veggies, not fruit

  • i give mine cucumber n tomatos n they love it frish food is alot better

  • HORRIBLE INFO!i'm going to show you guys how to really take care of them. so watch out on my vids

  • where do they dig these idiots up?

  • That cage is too flipping small

  • for hermit crabs, it helps them a ton more when you provide something soft or crushed up in their bowl. the bigger claw is for having shell fights, not for crushing food.

  • thank you, i honestly thought that it was for crushing food

  • just something funny and random. keep pausing the video, and if you're lucky you will see that talking person in really funny;Dhaha

  • She's abusing the poor Hermit Crabs

  • you are amazing i love you and my hermit crab lol

  • i give mine cherio's

    i love it

  • it is so easy to feed hermit crabs from fresh food that you have in your house already that you shouldnt need to buy dried anyway. fresh fruit and veg everyday plus oats, wholemeal bread, peanut butter etc and they are happy, sometimes a little ham or chicken, plus a dish of salty water and one of fresh and they are happy. they dont each much and cos they are nocturnal its good to have an infra red heat lamp so that you can watch them in the dark. they have great personalities.

  • hermit crabs rock!today is friday october 17 2008.i didnt get the hermit carabs yet but im going to use these tips.thanks and im 8.

  • Underneath the eyes almost, but above the pinchers.

  • jesus christ a whole carron (small one i mean) and a hunck of apple wtf yeah they can eat that in 24 hours

  • This woman has no idea WTF she is talking about. Don't trust her.
