No, they stay in their shell at all times unless they get eaten or die.
As hermit crabs grow and increase in size they need to come out of their shell in order to find a larger shell to live in.
NO they don't because they they stay in shell
i just grab the back of the shell and don't make the shell or crab touch any surface. (i do this to my crabs)
Yes they do, but the poop is really small
Hermit crabs excrete their waste by going in their shells and scooping it out, usually in their water bowls, no matter how many times you change the water the hermit crabs will still scoop it out in the water. Hermit crabs make so little liquid that you will never find it.
To change into a new shell or to mate. If not for these reasons, it is very sick
two when they come ou tof their shell...hope that helps!!
Hermit crabs are scavengers. Litterally. They scavange for food and they scavange for houses. When they outgrow their old shell they look for a larger abandoned shell. Their shell is not grown by them. It used to belong to a shellfish.
Soft shell crabs are soft and are eaten with the entire crab. Soft shell crabs are actually hard shell crabs that have shed their shells to allow for growth. Shells do not grow with the crab. Crabs retain a soft shell when they shed their hard shells; then that soft shells begins to harden-up as the crab grows.
Soft shell crabs are in season May through July.
Crabs have no inner skeleton like humans do so the shell is its skeleton but on the outside of its body. The shell protects the crab from injury.
some crabs, like hermit crabs
