No, there are chemicals present in paper that can be dangerous for your crabs.
The paper would also act as a wicking agent to pull moisture from the hermit crab. You definitely do not ever want to use any kind of litter or paper meant for mammals in a hermit crab tank.
The best substrates to use for your hermit crabs are an Aragonite sand put out by a company like CaribSea (found in reef stores and pet stores that cater to salt water aquariums) or Coconut fiber bedding (also known as Coir) known by brand names like Eco Earth.
You do NOT want any sort of bedding that contains conifers such as cedar or pine, as it is an irritant to hermit crabs an can also possibly cause them to sicken.
Play sand is a questionable substrate, as you never can know if it contains contaminants that cannot be sterilized or washed out, and may have no color or odor. Some have had crabs die from choosing this cheaper option, so it's not worth the risk.

i don't know but hermit crabs eat cuttle bone aka cuddlefish bone
I have never seen it but I feed mine veggies
They eat fruits, like apple, grape, strawberry, pineapple, and coconut. (These are some examples). They can also eat some types of meat, and they eat these because Hermit Crabs live near the ocean, Unless you are talking about Marine Hermit Crabs (hermit crabs that are underwater). Hope this helps.
