Salt Water

How long can my little Ecuadorians go without me giving them salt water?

I'm going to try and make it to the pet store tomorrow, but it's been a week of no salt water now (I'm a new crab owner.)

Crabs can probably survive 3-6 months without saltwater. But those that require it may have troubles getting through the next molt unless you provide some.
