What kind of wood is safe for a hermit crab?
We have lots of different fruit trees/bushes (i.e. cherry, apple,plum, pear, blueberry, etc.). I was wondering if the fruit tree’s wood (for climbing) and bark (for munching) would be safe for hermies. And, what wood should I avoid? I only know of cedar and pine.
The following was taken straight from www.epicurean-hermit.com (see source). Awesome site!
