Question

Where do hermit crabs go to the bathroom from?

Answer 1

Hermit crabs use the restroom inside their shells. That is why it is so important to soak your crab weekly in water. If you have not done that yet, all you need is a shallow bowl and some room temperature water. Place your crab in the bowl make sure you submerse it for a minute or two and then pull him out. You will have crud floating in the bowl, dump it out and repeat until the bowl is clean. From past experiences DON'T use HOT water their legs will fall off (my 3 year old and I found this out).
