Blood loss [edit]. Hemorrhaging is broken down into four classes by the American College of Surgeons' advanced trauma life support (ATLS). 1  Class I Hemorrhage involves up to 15% of blood volume. 2  Class II Hemorrhage involves 15-30% of total blood volume. 3  Class III Hemorrhage involves loss of 30-40% of circulating blood volume. 4  Class IV Hemorrhage.
Each day, increase the thermostat setting by 2Â°C (3Â°F or 4Â°F) until you reach 28Â°C (82Â°F). If the newly adopted hermit crabs came from a tank that was already at 28Â°C (82Â°F), then keep the warm end of your tank at 28Â°C (82Â°F) from the first day. Pay attention to the temperature of the cool end.
Hand Feeding. With a little practice, you can hand-feed your hermit crab. Take a piece of apple or grape and hold it in your left hand (if you're right handed). Using your right hand, coax the crab out of its shell and place the food near the crab, underneath its two pinchers.
