Popsicle sticks and hot glue

[hermitcrab29]

Recently, I've gotten into making Popsicle stick crafts with nontoxic hot glue for our hamster, and I was wondering if it would be okay to do the same thing for my crabbies. Thanks!

I've used popsicle sticks and hot glue to make MES (Mouse Entertainment Systems ) for years but the combo won't work very well in a crabitat due to the heat and humidity. The hot glue will deteriorate and the popsicle sticks will get spongy pretty quickly.

I can confirm what Crabinski said. I recently hot glued some popsicle sticks to my plastic water dishes. I wanted to be able to stake the dishes into the substrate because my crabs keep dumping the water out! It worked great for a little while, but soon the glue came off for some of them and the others strarted to rot. Back to the drawing board!
