Keeps Humidity Levels High in Crabitat --- Hermit crabs are particularly sensitive to changes in humidity levels and must have proper humidity to survive. The product distributes humidity making their crabitat moist. Crabs breathe through their gills, and they need a sponge laden with water and leaf substrate to keep them moist. In the wild, crabs live in warm, humid climates. Providing your pets with a cellulose sponge is a great way to help maintain the ideal humidity level of between 70- 80
Made Of Cellulose --- The Sponges are made from wood pulp extract called cellulose which makes the product durable. Unlike sea sponges, cellulose sponges are easy to maintain and reusable. They are lightweight, breathable, and fine for your hermit crabs to nibble on. Adding the special hermit crab leaves to your pet’s terrarium is an excellent way of introducing cellulose. As your crabs' nibble on the leaves, they ingest this cellulose which helps with digestion and makes their shells stronger
Speeds Up Recovery Process --- These hardworking hermit crab leaves provide an unbelievable amount of benefits to your shelled pets. Along with being an excellent supplement to their diet, the vegetation maintains balanced pH levels and adds essential compounds needed for recovery.
Expands When Placed in Water --- When the pack of 3 round crab sponges first arrive, they will be dry with a 2” (5cm) diameter and a thickness of approximately 0.1” (0.25cm). After submerging the pop-up sponge will soak up water and expand to a thickness of 1” (2.54cm). Small but effective, the cellulose sponge fits perfectly in the SunGrow Feeding Bowl for Hermit Crabs.
Versatile --- Not only do hermit crabs love these fantastic, dried leaves but so do other aquatic pets. Many species, such as shrimp, betta fish, snails, and other fish that thrive in the brackish habitat love these multiple hermit crab leaves. These pets also love to nibble on them and use them as shelter. Whereas, the cellulose sponge can be used for scrubbing kitchen utensils and cookware, and as a gentle sponge in the bathroom.
