What's that? A new pick-up line? ;-D
Bathe them? Wassup wit dat?
They are land crabs, but they still have gills. If the gills get too dry, the crab suffocates and dies. A daily misting is nice, but they need to get a nice soak frequently to keep them active and breathing right.
So, I get out a wee little sponge and scrub their pitties and behind their eye stalks. (joke)
I've got purple pinchers. Very common in the Keys.
Aren't they the cutest things? :-P
