    Well, Hermit crabs can go about 2 weeks without food, but need water (salt and fresh) all the time. Depending on how long you'll be gone, I'd either not worry about it (if you'll be gone for less than two weeks and have a filter) or consider getting a pet-sitter (if you don't).

    I'm sure it wouldn't be that expensive to hire someone to watch a hermit crab.

    you will need to take them you can heat up water bottles and then place them in the container. it isnot like taking a huge dog. hermmies dont take much room.
