Dragging this on.....

"who keeps hermit crabs in a glass bowl? thats low"

I don't know who would keep a couple of hermit crabs in a glass bowl, but guess what?

I didn't!!

The crabs were placeD in a 'ceramic' bowl during the cleaning of the cage. Is there a more appropriate place to keep two hermit crabs while their house gets a good washing? I'd be curious to hear one.

Tried a box - they can climb the walls.

Besides - how long does it take to clean a cage? 5 minutes? Bowl is sitting right next to me in the kitchen, too.

Usually they'd crawl all around trying to find a way to grasp the sides. But that morning, they didn't move.

When they NEVER moved - we knew they were dead.

People.... we need to move on.

a better option is actually giving the hermit crabs a glass fish tank as a temporary shelter and then putting them into yet another main hermit crab tank...(with sand in both of corse
