By using safe and easy building supplies (like paper towel tubes) you can build an obstacle course for your crabs. You can also enter your hermit cabs in yearly competitions (most of them are in Georgia)

All hermit crabs love sea salt. DO NOT GIVE IT TABLE SALT. IT WILL KILL THE HERMIT CRAB. All hermit crabs should have a small bowl of fresh water & salt water.

They will not die, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
