Hermit Crabs or Turtles? | PetHot.com
hermit crabs can live in a 10 gallon tank for up to 3 crabs. I don’t know a lot about hermit crabs but I do know that turtles are not low maintenance. I don’t need to know what a hermit crab needs just the questions above. I have never smelt hermit crabs but let me tell you that turtles absolutely STINK to high heaven, you will be constantly cleaning the tank. Hermit crabs don’t stink… where did you hear that. ( I already considered getting a hermit crab earlier and did research but the smell factor bothered my parents. you have to be careful when researching hermit crabs, a lot of the information is bogus. I heard hermit crabs smell kind of bad. Strawberry hermit crabs would not be recommended for you, they are higher maintenance. Also are there different types of hermit crabs. All other land hermit crabs will be fine. turtles will have to live outside unless they are babies cuz they need space. they are hypo allergenic which means people with allergies don’t get allergies from them cuz they don’t stink.
