If one claw is bigger than another claw on a hermit crab is it a boy or girl?
The claw size has nothing to do with the sex of the hermit crab. The small claw is a "feeder" claw, used to rip and tear food and bring it to the crab's mouth. The large claw is used for defense, as well as for holding the food while the crab uses the small claw to pick pieces off to eat. The female crab will have two visible gonopores on the 4th pair of walking legs, and will have pleopods on the side of her abdomen, best seen when the crab is switching shells.

If you tip your hermit crab almost upside down, they will come out of their shell a little bit. If the hermit crab is a female, then they will have two little dots on each side of their insides, used for laying the eggs of the hermit crabs. If it is a male you will not find these dots.
Can a hermit crab live if they lose both pinchers?
Yes they can survive without their large claw, however I would isolate the crab for a day or so to make sure he does not drop anymore legs. He will regrow the claw the next time he molts. It might take a few molts to get it back up to size though.
