Infused Water?
Wondering if I can give my crabbies infused water. I'm planning on making it for myself, but, like with everything I try, I'll probably end up not liking it. Typical me. Also, kiwi skins. I'm assuming they're safe? I'm hoping they are, I think they'd make a nice little treat for my guys.

Re: Infused Water?
Infused like flavored water? I wouldn't recommend it - they use the water for their shells.
I would only recommend kiwi skins if it is organic.

I'd seen some discussion about giving teas/fruit juices before, so I wasn't sure.Loving owner of two hermit crabs and two dogs! Call me Moon, Icy, Kermit, or anything you'd like! sheldon_and_peanut (hermit crabs) and sisterchins (dogs) on Instagram.

Re: Infused Water?
You can offer it the same as a food. I know others who would offer little bowls of tea.

Re: Infused Water?
So if infused water or tea were offered as well as fresh and salt water...would the crabs know enough just to drink it and not use it in their shells? I suppose in the wild they would come across liquids that aren't safe and just pass them by until they found fresh and salt water?

Ha! No, they were American. I remember tigermoon89 and a few others talking about it back in the day. Rooibos and some of the other teas from Mountain Rose Herbs.

I only like tea on Tuesdays and Saturdays. No exceptions.
