Some people grow plants outside of the crabitat to have on hand to replace the ones the crabs destroy. If you like it, go for it. Just be sure they are safe for the crabs in case they happen to munch on them. No pestcides and check out the safe and unsafe lists over on the hermitcrabassociation.com (They are in the food and water section).
well how about an update? i got sand and food and (drums start rollin) GOT THE HERMITS! ill post pics tomorow my cams all messed and says it cant find it on the computer :swear: there names are humphrey, mr. crabs, patrick and el tigre
Another good thing to get for your crabitat is a thermometer and hygrometer. You can buy these in a set. They have them in most reptile sections. The one I'm using I got from Petco. http://www.petco.com/product/8193/PETCO-Thermometer-Humidity-Gauge-Combo-Pak.aspx
This will let you know if your crabitat design is "there" yet for their comfort. Play around with things until you get the temps around 80F and the humidity in the 70-80 range.
Good luck with them !!

i wont have a problem with temp as my heater(baseboard) is always on and stays at 80 most of the time. i think ive got a humidty measurer some where though
