You can bathe your hermies in hermit crab salt which you can find at petsmart.also if you have small crabs put a sponge in the water dish the water temp should be 60 to 70 degress.ps I've been raising hermit crabs for 30 years in my old crab is 30 years old
hermit crabs bathe in warm water

No hermit crabs need distilled water for fresh water (which they drink), and need SEA salt water for them to bathe in (so the exoskeleton gets stronger)
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.
Hermit crabs dip their big claw in and drink drop of water on it.
salt water.
You Can but there's a water shack in hermit crab the keep the moister-ed and by washing them can destroy it
purple pincher hermit crabs, you can tell this crab apart from other because they have a purple pincher. these need fresh water so the water we drink is the water they need to drink all other type of hermit crabs need salt water
They live in the ocean - it would be a little difficult to drink freshwater.
Hermit crabs require both fresh and salt water to thrive. They drink fresh water to stay hydrated and occasionally dip into salt water to replenish minerals and salts. It's important for their overall health and ability to moult properly.
no, they drink freshwater; but they like salt water to soak and bathe in. make sure they can stand/get out of it though!
Yes, hermit crabs can drown. But it is still very important to have distilled water in the tank for your hermit crab to drink. Putting a natural sponge can help hermit crabs from drowning. Also do not put enough water in the bowl for it to drown. Hermit crabs also need SEA salt water for them to bathe in to get their exoskeleton stronger. Hermit crabs need distilled water because the clorine burs their modified (hardened) gills, the gills are not the kind fish have. Hermies gills need moisture in the air. so have the tank have 70 - 80% humidity.
