low price water dish

[ILuvMyCrabbie]

If you can't afford going to a high priced pet store to get a dish specially made for a hermie,
Try grabbing a plastic cup (preferably thin layered) and cutting off the bottom, make sure your crab can still getting but not drown.

Dishes aren't too expensive. I prefer the rockpool ones made for lizards. Plastic cups are very light, so hermit crabs tend to knock them over or push sand into them easily.

Okay , i wouldn't really know about them pushing them to far into the sand, mine is quite small.

Shells are good for food dishes.

I have a reaaaaaaaaally big shell for water and i used little shells for food. I have a corner rock bowl for salt water

[Chermo]

I use plastic lids from my husbands zip ties and electrical caps for the water and salt water. I think they are great, not too deep but not so shallow. I think they are big enough and my smallest one won't get stuck in it, I have a few shells in the bottom to help them climb out if they want but they don't use them. I also have shells that my daughter collected on the beach years ago as food dishes. They work great and are small enough to use many for different kinds of foods. I have one for fruits, meats and dried hermit crab food from the store.

I have a fairly large reptile dish for their food. I have 2 bowls I bought from Wal-Mart for like less than a dollar apiece that I use for my water dishes. I have pebbles in the bottom and a sponge in each so the small ones can sit on the sponges or they can climb out if they fall in.

I love reptile feeders the ones that refill the cup when the water is low exelent for 10 gallon aquariums with 5 hermit crabs. Worked wonders for me.
