Fluker All Natural Premium Sand Substrate Mixture for Hermit Crabs Pack of 2 66027-2p

Looks like sand taken right off of the beach. Holds moisture well and has coconut fibers here and there in the sand. It feels and looks like natural sand so I doubt there was any bleaching or coloring added to the sand. The second I poured it into the tank and placed my crabs in it, they started digging. They havent seen sand in god knows how long.

I love this sand for my Hermit Crab! He has molted and survived. He loves this sand! Its easy to clean and keeps the smell down. Also makes the tank look great!

The sand is and stays at the perfect consistency good amount to, I got a 5 gal tank and only needed one bag

Has added salt which is not good for crabs, especially when theyre molting. Their ideal habitat would be 5 parts play sand from home depot or Lowes to 1 part eco earth (coconut fiber).

My three hermit crabs absolutely love this stuff! I had them for a few months and they were lethargic, fearful, and werent molting so I knew I had to make a change. At that point I was only using Eco Earth for substrate. Now I have half the tank with this sand and half the hank with Eco Earth and they are so happy! They are very active now and have major excavation projects going on all the time. As soon as I switched to this they started molting right away. Ive now had my hermit crabs for a year and a half and the littlest one is as big as the biggest one was when I first got them. Maybe the bad reviews had to do with which breed of crab those people had(?) All of mine are purple pinchers. The down side is that they only sell small bags. I try to make the substrate very deep to ensure the crabs can molt properly. I need 2-3 bags to properly cover half of a 10-gallon tank (the other half is Eco Earth). Because of that, its a bit expensive. I wish they either sold larger bags or would lower the price of the small bag.

Very impressed with this product. Will definitely purchase again.

Our 4 hermits LOVE this sand... in fact as soon as we put in there habitat 2 started their digging for mounting... Totally caught us by surprise... But defiantly good quality

I just learned that this product is unsafe for Hermit crabs due to the salt content. I have 2 unopened bags but it’s passed my return window. **Please contact me as I would still like to return this product if possible.

Crabs are able to dig deep and it doesnt stick to them

Terry(the hermit crab) loves it.
