hi guys...
I need help here...

I took some hermit crabs from the sea...
together with some sand and salt water from the sea...

but I think I have to change the water this weekend...
coz the container will probably stink...

i know normal water can't keep them alive...
what water can keep them to alive?

is it adding some salt to the water will help?

beside of that...
what things they eat?
i mean normal food...that is less hassle to prepare...like grass...?bread?the usual aquarium fish food?

can I self-make the salt water?
how to do it?
adding salt into normal water?
or need to buy from aquarium shop?

will it going to be die?
but I store them with the sea water and sand wor...

Well, maybe if you dont know anything about hermit crabs, you shouldnt take them from the beach. Did you wash the sand from the beach? And you will have to change the water every 3-4 days. As mentioned, Red Sea Salt is the best so far. And dont you ever you table salt cause they will sure die.

Speaking of food, it is better if you provide some fresh food. I dont think hermit crabs will eat grass. If you consider preparing fresh food a hassel, then you should release them back to the beach. And try not to feed too much cheap fish food, cause sometimes the quality is not so good and there are certain preservatives in the food.
