A hermit crab only molts when it feels it needss to. Make sure you have plenty of soil in your hermit crab home.

Hermit crabs molt when they feel the need to. Nothing is wrong with your crab if it hasn't molted. :)
I think they have to molt first.
When it grows to big for its exoskeleton, like a hermit crab.
Typically its about to molt or in the process of shedding it's outer shell, molting.
No, they are invertebrates, meaning they need to molt their skin to grow an example is a snake, they don't grow, they molt their skin to grow, just like the hermit crab.
nothing. when they molt their legs grow back.
The two most common growths on a hermit crab are a molt sack, which is a dark looking spot on the side of a crab where they store nutritious goo aimed at helping them survive their molt. the other one is a gel limb. When the hermit crab loses a leg or claw, they often grow a small translucent nub called a gel limb where the repacement will be.
Yes crustaceans do molt because they have exoskeletons meaning they have and outer shell. I believe. every 2 years or months they molt out of their shells. in other words, they leave their shell
I think that the fish rock might be a little too hard for your hermit crab because he needs soft enough sand to be able to molt and when they molt their skin is sensitive so the fish rock will probably make him uncomfortable.
When a hermit crab grows it's called molting, they go underground for months to molt.
It may be happy with the shell is has on. NEVER force a hermit crab out of its shell. but over time it will molt and change to a diffrent shell.
