Question
Dear Jenna,

I'm Miranda and I have a hermit crab. I was wondering how I should give her water. My two friends have hermit crabs, but give them water differently. What should I do? My crab is a land one. Thanks Jenna!

From Miranda

Answer
Dear Miranda,

If she is a land, you can give her a sponge that you can buy her at your local pet store. Bowls of water are for water hermit crabs. Just soak the sponge with cold water, and when it is dry, water it again.

Thanks so much for choosing me as an expert, and I hope I helped! If you need any further questions, e-mail me, or ask a follow-up! Thanks again.
