There are these tiny little sea sponges you can find in little clear baggies hanging up in the fish/reptile care and supplies section of any Walmart and you just soak them with water and set them in the cage. You can also place the sponge in a small jar lid after you wet it if you don't want all the surrounding sand to get wet. You just replace the sponge every few days when it gets drier.
no, they give birth to thousands that live in the water until they become full hermies
They cannot live with a land hermit crab because land hermit crabs live out of water so the fish would die (as you know) if it is out of water.
no because they could be land hermit crab and die
i have a hermit crab and mine had a baby. So the original hermit crab died and grew out of its shell for the baby.
if your hermit crab pinches you put it under cold water
You get distilled or spring water and mist the cage LIGHTLY and mist the hermit crab LIGHTLY make sure your hermit crab is never dripping wet when you mist it.
your hermit crab will die and give u a disease known as gingivitis
what it looks like is a naked hermit crab so if your hermit crab isn't picking it shell for almost a day get more changing shells so if your hermit crab is naked don't worry just give them some time
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!
yes you can. only you have to use very very shallow water!
a hermit crab
Put your new hermit crab in a bath of distilled water (make sure the water is no higher than the crab's legs) and let him/her crawl around in it for a while. Then, put your crabs back together and see how it goes. If that doesn't work, watch them for a while and maybe give them both baths. That happened to my crabs, but now they like each other.
