Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why do hermit crabs need salt water?

Ans: Hermit crabs should have access to both freshwater and a separate dish of saltwater, as advised by Zoo Med. This conditioner helps prepare the saltwater by adding natural sea salt and treating the water to neutralize chlorine and chloramines.

Q2: How much conditioner do I use?

Ans: Add 1 teaspoonful per 250 milliliters (1 cup) of water. Measure the amount of water in your crab's water dish and adjust the dosage accordingly, so smaller or larger dishes get a proportionate amount of conditioner each time you refill.

Q3: How often should I use it?

Ans: Zoo Med's directions say to use the conditioner every time the water is changed. Each time you refresh your hermit crab's saltwater dish, measure the water and add 1 teaspoonful per 250 milliliters (1 cup) of new water before returning the dish.

Q4: Can I use this instead of a fresh water dish?

Ans: No. Zoo Med describes the saltwater dish as an addition to your hermit crabs' fresh water supply, not a replacement. For the freshwater dish, Zoo Med recommends using its Hermit Crab Drinking Water Conditioner (Part 1) alongside this product.

Q5: What ingredients are in it?

Ans: Zoo Med lists water, natural sea salt, ClorAm-X, buffers, synthetic organic polymers, and FDC Yellow #5 as its ingredients. The conditioner adds natural sea salt and removes chlorine and chloramines from your hermit crab's saltwater dish.
