Putting together a Aquabug collection. Will the Hexbug Crab function in water?

I truly do not know about the water. I got the impression they are miniature electronics of some sort, so I would not think they would work in water. I would think it would ruin the hex bug. I bought them for gifts for 3 children of various ages, and none of them used them in water.

My grandson tells me that it will not. He adds that they have since come out with a newly designed shark hex that will work in water.

I'm sorry - I really don't know. I bought this as a gift and the recipient didn't use it in water. Hope you can find out. :)

Yes. Before you use this in water, you should use a paper towel and test it.

Doubtful, your filtration will probably gather them all up before the had a chance to hatch. Also not sure if the salinity matches from your tank and what they hatch in.

I bought it as a gift so it is not in my possesion for me to look we bought it for crabs but haven't caught any yet to be able to try it out. If I could guess id say maybe 10-12

The Hexbug itself take like a watch battery. You can find them in large quantities on Amazon for a very reasonable price.

No, I just tried to make sure! My aqua-kong also did not float - it's on the bottom of a farm pond now!

These hexbug fish are the worst quality. It happened to me with 2 of them. Take it as a loss and get the robo fish they sell at toys r us, can't remember what their called but they swim way better and last forever.

I would assume so--it is a Christmas gift so have not tried yet. I do know previous BUGS won't climb in new pieces so you will need to purchase NEW bugs

Think it needs to be wet to activate the critters in it......you might find a dip in the ground and use a watering can but then the mosquitos have to be in the dip....I would look for something else....if you find a puddle full of mosquitos you could pour soapy water on them... or spread vegetable oil on the surface of the water.....I finally bought goldfish for my pond and they're getting fat and I have no mosquitos...or few depending on the time of year

Works great for dungeness and red rock crabs. That is all I have tried for.

I believe it can be used for hermit crabs as well. It is made of plastic, and although shaped like a rock it can possibly be a slick surface, especially in the water bowl part. I would bury it down in the substrate if possible to make it less of a hill to climb, as well as think about having a sponge or something in the bowl, so that water is accessible and they can still easily maneuver in/around.It's a nice item to have. You'll have to play it by ear when you receive it, but my suggestions should counter any problems.

Since its metal I would not. I have not gotten water on my weights and they have already began to rust. I definitely would not place them in aqua therapy until you plan on spray painting them with water-proof paint and then using them.

Most of the habitats do; please read the promotional text accompanying the Product artwork; enlarge the art to examine it.It may only one (1) hexbug, and you really need at least 2 to appreciate the action; the more you have, the merrier! The novelty wears off fast, however.

Yes, but be sure that it doesn't drag into the water reservoir and get wet. The paper towel should be dry. The humidity will go way up during hatch, but should not before that.

If you place it outside it will get wet,without the water causing damage. It will NOT float in water. If submerged, I think it will eventually damage the paintwork.

I doubt it. I have fished for crabs in Vemtura. Maybe a few, but I would convert an ice chest. Cheap and much bigger. Chef Mo

Not familiar with a Waterbug, but I use the Elk Relay to control my 220v water heater.. It's hooked directly into the Relay. I Plug the Relay into a Zwave appliance module which activates and deactivates the Elk Relay through a Vera Lite command sequence. Hope that helps
