Metal lid

[Perthcrabber]

hello everyone,

I have a question

I have 3 tanks and one of them has a metal lid.
is this okay for the hermit crabs? { PS: its not my main tank}

thank you

Bye!

Probably not; depending on the type of metal it may rust. Even if it has a coating, the crabs may scratch at it and peel off the protective coating that protects it from rust over time.

Bye!
