∙ 12y agoYes! My hermit crab climbs around the top of his cage all the time.... the whole time being upside down! He will be up there for awhile before he climbs back down onto his little hut.

Can hermit crabs live without heat?
A hermit crab can go with out others but I is highly recommended. Hermit crabs are social animals and like to live together. They get lonely. In the wild hermit crabs live in colonies or clans.It can survive but hermit crabs are colony species, living in groups of hundreds of crabs. They do best with other crabs nearby. I suggest having a minimum of two or three. They can get very lonely.You can have one hermit crab though. But as the person above said, they can get lonely.User:Gab33Not really. For some months yes but if they go a long period of time without any other hermit crab contact they won't be doing so well. If they get lonely then its really not good for them. You really need another hermit crab.
How do jellyfish get upside down?
they take a deep breath, exhale really hard and fast so that they get thrusted outside of the water, into the air and when they come back down they are upside down.
How do you bath a hermit crab?
It is not necessary to bathe your hermit crabs but if you would like to bathe them, this is what I do: -fill a container with enough dechlorinated water to fully submerge your largest crab. -Place the crab in the water upside-down -Leave the crab in the water for two minutes. Don't leave it in the water for too long or it will drown. Once you place the crab in the water upside-down, it will flip itself over and begin walking around or just sit there.
What happens when you lose your hermit crab?
If your hermit crab runs away the best thing to do is place some aluminum foil down with some tuna and some water in the center. The hermit crabs will move toward water. Check the bathrooms and the waterheater room if they have access. Hermit crabs can roam quite aways so don't be surprised if you find them 3 rooms over!

How can you tell apart from a female crab and a male one and can you show pictures?
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.
How do you mate hermit crabs easily?
, First you buy two hermit crabs a male and female to check if its a female or a male wait until the hermit crab comes out its shell and flip it upside down and if it has two holes on it fifth pair legs then its a female if it doesn't its a male. Next, go to the dollar store or somewhere and buy a kitty pool. After that, go to a pet store and buy Calci-sand and put the sand in the kitty pool and layer it like a hill. Now put salt water in the kitty pool not too much just enough to make it look like a beach and make sure there's sand at the bottom of the kitty pool. your almost done now all you have to do is put your hermit crabs in there with a bunch of little shells so the baby hermit crabs can go in them when the turn to land hermit crabs. this process will take a bout 2 months oh and don't forget to get a heater, food and guard rails just in case. there are other ways but this is the cheapest way you'll find on how to do it. Thanks
How do hermit crabs bear their young?
Hermit crabs will not have a single baby while they are not in the wild. They will never have a baby in captivity. No one really knows why but they do know that for a fact. When hermit crabs are ready to have their baby or babies, they basically do the same things as humans. First they take their shell off and then they try to dig themselves down in the ground a little bit. When those two steps are both done, they just wait until its ready and then do the same as humans.
