Adopted some salt marsh crabs that will not live much longer

Yes of course. That's all I've used. Thank you!

Definitely Clibanarius vittatus. Most LFS sell premixed saltwater for saltwater aquariums. I’d start there.

Ok so we've lost 5 out of 7 crabs. Averaging about 1 per day. No one will take these things and I've done everything I know to do. Please someone tell me how to put these poor things down quickly

Did you put them in Instant Ocean? I kept two of them; one for a year, in a 20 gallon tank on my kid’s desk. I set up a saltwater aquarium for them. One was in a tiny 5 gallon salt water setup until I could upgrade. Both rescued from people who brought them home in seashells.

All they need is saltwater made from dechlorinated freshwater and ocean/saltwater aquarium salt. They will survive!
