They might be a problem for the hermit crab, or they might not. Hard to tell. If you want to get rid of them, pet stores sell these things you hang on bird cages to get rid of mites. If they're safe for birds, i'd assume that they'd be safe for hermits?

: Today I saw a white tiny mite crawl off of my hermit crab's leg. Is this a bad sign? Are these mites in the sand or can they harm the hermits? What should I do?
