陸寄居蟹網絡日誌オカヤドカリブログ

明林さん、コムラサキオカヤドカリの写真を図鑑に追加してくれてありがとうございました。

事源最近去看這個1.023world網站, 發現介紹寄居蟹的「超ヤドカリ図鑑」版面更新了, 加了很多有心人提供的圖片, 還有圖片出處結連. 這個圖鑑也介紹陸寄居蟹「オカヤドカリ科 」.

謝謝管理員明林先生, 加了一張我拍攝的Coenobita violascens圖, 出處結連也連結了陸寄居蟹研究室內品種介紹的日文版, 希望更多日本飼養者也可以了解陸寄居蟹各品種.

Do you agree ➡ some people suggest STOP buying hermit crabs (land hermit crabs/terrestrial hermit crabs/Coenobita)?

No demand, no supply, we all know this concept. But do we have method to STOP people buying hermit crabs? NO. So the first step is we should think about how to reduce the demand.

1. Prevent overharvesting just like Japan ➡In Japan, hermit crabs in Okinawa are recognized as a Natural Monuments. The handling of Natural Monuments is determined by national and prefectural laws. Only certain businesses are licensed to collect and sell hermit crabs. The license also regulates the quantity legally allowed to be harvested per year.

2. Educate people how to take care of hermit crabs ➡ I think the big problem is many people DO NOT KNOW how to take care of them. Many people think that hermit crabs are short lived pets, only have 1-2 year life expectancy. When hermit crabs died, people will buy again, vicious circle. But in fact hermit crabs can live over 10 years in crabitat if we take care of them properly. For example, over 40 years in in US, over 15 years in Japan, mine also over 10 years. Let’s imagine if life expectancy of all our crabs is at least 10 years, we do need to buy any news crabs frequently.

On the other hand, some people would just say, STOP buying hermit crabs, just release them to the wild. These people really do not know much about them. Hermit crabs always export to the places that no natural habitat suitable for them. There is no better way than take good care of them.

截自20200412日本節目「世界遺產」, 介紹加拉帕戈斯群島的象龜, 當中一小段, 出現椰子蟹和陸寄居蟹(但中文字幕有錯, 出現的陸寄居蟹不是西伯利斯陸寄居蟹, 應該橙紅陸寄居蟹).

有蟹友私訊問我圖中這個「陸寄居蟹專用飼料」好不好, 我「當堂嚇一跳, 然後得啖笑」, 想不到現在還有在賣? 首先蟹友搞錯了, 我不是台灣蟹友, 不過綜合不少資深台灣蟹友的經驗得出以下(以下幾點N年前已得出來了):

1. 這個飼料出名「臭」.
2. 業者聲稱用很多特別配料去調製, 以前又說過對脫皮很好等等.......但他自已連飼養都沒有飼養過(長期飼養), 何來知道這個飼料有用? 而且產品又沒有成份內容.
3. 粉狀物飼料一向不推薦, 容易污染飼養環境, 難以清洗. (片狀或粒狀還可以)
4. 當每次看到業者拿這個飼料給野外抓回來的陸寄居蟹吃時, 牠們吃得津津有味? 以前也說過, 野外抓回來的陸寄居蟹因為在業者的惡劣環境下, 根本就是俗語所說的「無啖好食」. 還要繼續相信這種「詐騙技倆」?
5. 買了之後, 陸寄居蟹根本不吃.
