. if i cant go hermit crab what about a freshwater crab?
 
i 'think' hermit crabs need containers of both fresh and salt water, as well as some coco fibre type stuff to bury themselves in while they melt.
 
I believe there are both fresh and salt water hermit crabs, but I may be wrong. I kept a hermit crab as a kid, and it only lived about 6 months. It could have been because it needed salt water... I dunno.
 
Terrestrial (common in pet trade), saltwater (majority of all species), and brackish/freshwater (very rarely seen in the aquarium trade).
 
most of the common ones need access to salt water, just a small dish full they can bathe in. they also need a small dish of fresh water to drink from

Yes there is an africian freshwater species but it's rare. 247Plants has some

In the past, hermit food wasn't as good as it was now and there much more information. A good person to ask about hermits was YadoKari, he had tons of them. I'm only the 'regular'crab guy; fresh, salt, brackish, land
