Well, most hermit crabs do not come out during the day, or when they know you are watching them. to see if they are alive, carefully put your fingewr nail on there claw, or blow on them. If they move it, than they are ok. If it is very stiff, they are still ok. If you can move there claw, yourself, and it is very wiggly, they are not usually alive.

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.
