Changing water
I should be changing my bowls every few days, correct?
Before, I was really bad at doing that timely, so now I am sticking to changing the water every third day from replacement.

Re: Changing water
Well, I change mine every 2 weeks unless it's really dirty. That's probably too long to go. I do add some as it evaporates.StellaCrab wrote:I should be changing my bowls every few days, correct?

Re: Changing water
Oh, I see. I used to go a whole week without changing it.
I feel that doing it every three days is better for myself.

Re: Changing water
Yes I change every 3 days too. I see you thought I was agreeing with the weekly. No not for me. They need fresh water and salt regularly. I feel better with every 3 days tooStellaCrab wrote:Oh, I see. I used to go a whole week without changing it.

Re: Changing water
I change my crabs' water whenever someone has dragged sand into the bowls when they're bathing.
