My little brother brought home a couple of fiddler crabs from school (his teacher says it teaches responsibility to have pets, so she has given them frogs in the past – now they’re all dead – and now crabs). I thought I could save these from certain doom, so I requested he bring me a crab back. They didn’t have food for the first weekend, and my little brother said his teacher would give food out on Monday. Turns out, his teacher didn’t have food, and, probably, never said anything like that. So we went to a pet supplies shop and bought some freeze-dried brine shrimp. The crabs seemed to like this very much. After a while, my little brother got bored with the crabs and gave his crab to me. So my mission is almost complete. The only problem is, he took a rather small container for the crabs, and I read that the crabs need an area about 3-4 times bigger than the container they’re in. All they have is a pool – I fill it with distilled water – of drinking water. And this gets dirty. Really fast. I also read that they need a saltwater pool. Can someone please give me a list of things I need to buy, and the things I need to put in the area (such as a saltwater pool, with the measurements of salt)?
