Blood loss [edit]. Hemorrhaging is broken down into four classes by the American College of Surgeons' advanced trauma life support (ATLS). 1  Class I Hemorrhage involves up to 15% of blood volume. 2  Class II Hemorrhage involves 15-30% of total blood volume. 3  Class III Hemorrhage involves loss of 30-40% of circulating blood volume. 4  Class IV Hemorrhage.
Each day, increase the thermostat setting by 2Â°C (3Â°F or 4Â°F) until you reach 28Â°C (82Â°F). If the newly adopted hermit crabs came from a tank that was already at 28Â°C (82Â°F), then keep the warm end of your tank at 28Â°C (82Â°F) from the first day. Pay attention to the temperature of the cool end.
Hermit crab mites are a tiny parasite, similar to fleas on cats. Although tiny, untreated mites can cause a great deal of unnecessary stress and damage for your crab. Over a period of time, mites may even kill your pet or cause him to lose a leg.
