Is Bathing Crabs Related to Stress?
NO. Regular weekly bathing them does not stress them out, but bathing them too much does. Too much is bathing your crabs every day, or every other day. When you over-bathe them you strip their exoskeletons of needed oils and other necessary elements and the crab weakens quickly and starts to stress. So keep the baths to once a week, UNLESS you live in a desert climate.
