Can a hermit crab drink lemon juice?

* Acidity: Lemon juice is highly acidic. This acidity can be harmful to a hermit crab's delicate digestive system and could cause irritation and even burns.

* Toxicity: Some components of lemon juice, such as citric acid, can be toxic to hermit crabs in high concentrations.

* Dehydration: Lemon juice can be dehydrating due to its high sugar content, which can be harmful to crabs, especially if they are not provided with fresh water.

Hermit crabs should only drink freshwater. You can provide them with a shallow dish of clean, dechlorinated water for drinking and bathing.
