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.
No, hermit crabs should not be given cinnamon in their food. Most spices, including table salt, should not be eaten by hermit crabs.
salt water.
yes
Although I do not recommend keeping hermit crabs from the ocean, yes you need saltwater. They are salt water creatures.
no i had hermit crabs and had salt it didn't hurt them
iodine is toxic and present in table salt. Mix salt from the pet store designed for hermit crabs and also offer spring water or dechlorinated water.
Hermit crabs do need both types of water but they need both water because they need to clean themselves and they just drink salt water.
Salt water hermit crabs need to live in ocean water that has been properly set up (like a reef aquarium). Land hermit crabs need access to both fresh and salt water but live the majority of their lives on land.
Land Hermit Crabs consume fresh water. It is suggested by some pet stores to have two watering dishes. One for bottled fresh water and the other for bottled salt water. The hermit crab can choose between the two depending upon the nutrients it feels it needs. If you do not have salt water- that is fine, it is not necessary.
No, there are some hermit crabs called purple pinchers and they happen to be land crabs.
Interact? Hermit crabs and humans are not like. That being said however: Hermit Crabs and humans do both need to eat, and both have their own food pyramid they should eat from to remain healthy. Hermit crabs and humans both need to drink water so they do not become dehydrated. However, water needs to be safe as in hermit crabs if offered tap water needs to have a dechlorinator used to make it safe, whereas humans do not. Hermit crabs and humans both need a certain warmth to prevent hypothermia which can lead to harmful complications or death. Hermit crabs and humans both need salt in their diet even though it is a different type of salt. Hermit crabs need the elements found in ocean/sea water salt/salt mixes and humans need the iodine from salt.
No. Crabs need ocean style salt water mixed with products you buy at the pet store. Table salt contains an anti-caking agent which can be harmful. Table salt also lacks the trace metals and minerals that are in the water mix that hermit crabs need.
