A hermit crab can die at any time during their life, however, it is known that crabs live anywhere from 30-50 years in the wild. Carol of Crabworks has had her crabs, John and Kate for over 30 years.
hermit crabs have 10 legs...you only see 6 because the other 4 are inside the shell holding it on. They are much smaller and look quite different from the visible legs. Two of their legs have pincers, while 4 are walking legs.
Because everything dies, it's the circle of life
