I personally, dont use a sponge beacuse it gets dirty too much, i just mist the crabitat until it have enough humidity. You dont have to change the sponge, if it gets really dirty, boil it in distilled water and place it back in. You need to change the hermie sponge when it becomes so small you cant really use it.

How does a Hermit Crab swim?

It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!

It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits.
