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.

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.

Basically. Thanks.
I'd seen some discussion about giving teas/fruit juices before, so I wasn't sure.

You can offer it the same as a food. I know others who would offer little bowls of tea.

Not to stereotype... but are they the British crabbers?
never thought of giving them tea, but then again I dont like tea unless it iced tea.

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 miss Crystal.

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