No because they can't drink tap water, and if you put it in tap water, it will drink some of it. Bottled Water is best.

Will hermit crabs die if given salt water?

No! Wrong kind of. Hermit crabs need salt water but only once a week. If you don't it's fine but is highly recommended. I recommend HBH Hermit Crab Salt. You can get salt water at your local pet store so like Petsmart or Petco or any where else that has salt water. DON'T USE SALT WATER FROM THE OCEAN! Hermit crabs don't really need salt water but it helps to have it. Hermit crabs use the salt water to soak in. It helps with there molting. If you have salt water for hermit crabs GREAT!!! If you don't that's "OKAY." Go out and buy some salt water for your hermit crabs. If you don't know where to get salt water you can got to your local pet shop and get something called hermit crab salt.

It is perfectly okay to bathe your cats. The only problem is, cats hate water, the cat will not like the bath, and whatever you do, don't put water on your cat's head/face. Also do not submerge your cat in water.

What can eat hermit crabs?

They can eat anything! It is best just to feed them small, small cut-up fruits like a cut up grape and small vegatables. Hermies have a tiny mouth so they have to have their food cut up! I guess it is okay if a hermit crab receives a small amount of a special food maybe once a month, like a top of a small piece of popcorn.


Is it okay for a hermit crab to eat rope?

Rope would not be nutritious for crabs, although it might not be harmful, but that depends on the type of rope; sisal is more digestible than polypropylene, for example. I advise against feeding rope to any animals. Try feeding them food, instead.

How do you take care of land hermit crabs in captivity?

I had some named Hermie, Charles, and Elizabeth. Okay..so first....You must have sand and water. Sand so they can crawl and burrow and water so they stay hydrated. You can buy hermit crab food at your local pet store called Hermit Crab Variety Bites. You can also buy them Hermit Crab Cookies for little treats. So, you get them a big enough tank and you fill the bottom with enough sand for them to burrow in..i filled up like 5 inches but they probably dont need that much. Then you buy them a little water dish they can easily crawl in and out of, you dont want to drown them. Be careful to clean out the food they dont eat becuase it will get soggy and mold will grow..they eat that too but it can be harmful if flies lay their eggs in it.
