Hermit crab should only go outside if the temperature and humidity are above 70, you need to keep them in a relatively shaded area. Letting them roam the grass is okay as long as it hasn't been treated with pesticides or herbicides. Be careful though, it is very easy for a hermit crab to sneak away when you're not looking.

∙ 13y agoIt's not a good idea if the grass has ever been treated with pesticides or even fertilizer, as most fertilizers contain pesticides. These can sicken or even kill your crab.
You are also exposing your crab to the possibility of other insects and/or diseases.
