Hermit Crabs
 

Guys I got some hermit crabs for tog bait. Wanting to know how I should keep em alive? Just throw them in the fridge covered with a wet towel?

THanks for the help

Find yourself a dock in a marina. Put them in the water in a fabric mesh bag or a bucket with a tight lid with 1/2 inch holes drilled all the way around the bucket.

Be careful though.... The hermits are known to attract Shrimp :D

unfortunately I'm not located near a dock. If i throw em in the fridge with wet towels soaked in saltwater will they die?

Yes they will not live to long out of water

they are crack to Tog, do what u have to keep them alive, dont get a chance to fish with them a lot, pretty scarce. But when the tog are there they dont last long down there!

If you do find a place to hang in the water make sure they don't lay in the mud
