Water Pillows
I saw that petco was advertising water pillows for hermit crabs. I have seen them used for crickets before. Has anyone tried these for their crabs?

Re: Water Pillows
Please do not use these. Unlike crickets, hermies are able to pinch at them and tear them apart as well as possibly eat the plastic or 'cotton' type filling.

Re: Water Pillows
I myself really don't understand how these products can be good for hermit crabs. My suspicion is that the producer saw another market to try to sell to so started marketing for hermit crabs. Given how uneducated most new hermit crab owners are, these could easily be misconstrued as a "must have" when pushed by the marketer.
