I know it says its used for birds but would it serve the purpose as a coconut hut for Hermit crabs?

possibly but it's def meant to hang don't know how great it would work for hermit crab. I suppose if you leaned it in a corner or used sonething to steady the coconut on both sides so it doesn't tip sure. Might work

I would say no unless you could build a ramp. Just don't think they could get into it or out of it

I attached it to a flight cage with finches and they loved it. If you have something to attach to outside, probably any birds would love it as their bath source.

The floor area that a hermit crab could use is a little small in nano tanks. It would be better to have enough room to let the crab(s) have a thermal gradient (varying temperatures at floor level, not all the floor on heating pad) and room for a water source and hide areas.

will the turtle bury in it? if so you need to make sure its deep enough to cover him several times over. I use a 1 to 1 mixture for my hermit crabs and it works nicely. Re-hydrate the soil then add about the same amount of sand. If you need another, you can do another.

IM sure you can, it may take awhile to dry out, i would wash it and dry it out in the sun. it is a real coco nut.if your bird is plucking her feathers or loosing them, it could be self mutilation from lack of having enough attention. i have parrots. good luck! hope your bird gets better!

IDK - I use it for netting hooked fish on a pier too.................I imagine either would work, but the cage will preserve the bait better, keeping the crabs from "walking away" with the bait............

We used it for canaries and parakeets. I'm guessing it's not appropriate for stronger birds like your grey.

Not really, as the look of it would not be so nice. It would work, but I would look to protect the wood some other way and find the reason that the birds are pecking at the wood. ie. insects, etc. would try to paint it or seal it first.

I would NOT use the bird cages as permanent homes for any bird, use more for either temporary housing and/or transporting. I purchased them for decorations - I have a candle in each one.

It heats a 10 gallon tank just fine for leopard geckos but I don't know much about hermit crabs....sorry

I don't think so. It is designed for the Parrot. It would be an expensive experiment.

Even though this product was designed for birds we have sold this to customers for hermit crab use. It's perfectly safe.

I'm not that knowledgable about chicken preferences (I have a parrot), but I asked my friend who has many and she said, "it would be a fun perch but chickens need a perch that is flat and not round. They get bumble foot on round perches, and when it is cool or cold they lower their breast to keep their feet warm."Edit: I agree with saka - the small size (what I got) would be way too small. Maybe the large size would be better?

I believe they are more for decoration than actual use. I would be concerned that the bird wouldn't have enough space and the metal and paint are not of high enough quality to be healthy for birds. I would not recommend it.

I think it'll work for cockatoo but probably it'll be very tight for macaw, especially perches that are about half an inch in diameter.

I used it to resurface a bird bath. After it dried if you agitated the water it would create a pile of foam. Neither birds nor the dogs would drink out of it any more. I trust their intuition rather than rustoleum.

It is made of a coconut that is the same size of the coconuts you buy at the store. It is pretty small. My parrotlet wont go inside, although he could fit, he sits on the top of the coconut. You can put treats inside it or sunflower seeds. Its cute décor. :)
