HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I've got this lunch-type Tupperware container with a large side, a divider, and a smaller side.

Does anyone see an issue with me using the larger side for fresh water and a smaller side for salt water? Both sides appear deep enough for my crabbies to submerge themselves.

I'm not familiar with the type you've named, but as long as it holds water, is deep enough for your largest crab to submerge, and you can provide easy ways in and out - many plastic, glass, or ceramic dishes work well. After that it just comes down to personal preference.

I've got a small two-sided doggie water dish that I use and the crabs don't seem to mind it!

Cool, just didn't know if the crabs would mind their fresh and salt water being so close to eachother.

Thanks for your help!

My sw & fw are next to each other and my hc don't mind it at all. I distinguish the difference by putting stones in the fw, and tiny shells in my sw. Good luck!
