However, the animal may not survive in captivity because of the feeding problem. The aim of this study was to increase the growth and survival rate of Coenobita sp. in captivity through the feeding approach. The research was begun by developing a standard curve allowing the estimation of the body weight through total weight. Fresh, non refreshed and mixed feed, as well as feeding patterns were tested by measuring the consumption rate and hermit crabs’ growth and survival rate. The regression between total and body weight for C. rugosus was Y = 0.276X – 0.049 and for C. perlatus was Y = 0:101X1:33. The feed composition between the two species was not significantly different. Both species needed varied, fresh, and low protein content feed. If one of these criteria was not available, the feed consumption rate would decrease, leading to lower growth and survival rate. Non-varied but fresh feed did not affect survival rate. However, the negative effect of non-varied feed was observed on the growth rate. The best feed for hermit crabs was found to be the sequence of apple, followed by jicama, and corn.
