It suits a single water or food station in a hermit crab habitat, and the bright neon finish makes it easy to spot among substrate and decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoulded ramp\u003c\/strong\u003e — gives crabs safe, gradual access in and out, instead of a vertical wall they can fall into and struggle to climb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep end\u003c\/strong\u003e — holds enough water or food for a small hermit crab colony between refills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBright neon finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — easy to see in a planted or bark-covered enclosure, and simple to spot-check for cleanliness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth, easy-clean surface\u003c\/strong\u003e — wipes out quickly during routine water and food changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne size, several roles\u003c\/strong\u003e — use as a fresh water dish, a salt water dish, or a food bowl; keep a separate bowl for each rather than swapping one dish between purposes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 14.0 x 8.9 x 2.5 cm (5.5 x 3.5 x 1.0 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon — colour supplied varies by batch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle ramped side for entry and exit, with a deeper end for water or food\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZM236\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable as a water dish (fresh or salt) or a food dish for land hermit crabs, and for other small terrarium animals that need a shallow, easy-access water or food station. Not a bathing pool for larger hermit crabs or for species that need to fully submerge — the dish is shallow by design, so a crab that needs to soak its shell may still need a deeper dish alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and refill daily.
