Asked by Wiki User

The poet also employs imagery to paint a vivid picture of the beggars' suffering and desperation.

How does a Hermit Crab swim?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!

yes. if you are keeping them as pets then you will need a little bowl of water that is easy for them to climb up to. they need to drink water and also they like to swim in it. always have easy-accesesd water in the tank and refil it once a day. you might need to clean the bowl often if they put lots of sand in it with their claws. they need fresh water (cold) just from a tap every day or every few days to keep them healthy. hope that helps:)
