Probably by putting another hermit crab in with it as a friend. Then, it wouldn't feel so alone in it's new habitat. If you do not put another crab for it's friend, then I don't know any other way. I always buy my pets other than cats and dogs in pairs, so they have a friend to turn to.... I did have hermit crabs and they are usually shy and stay in their shells at first. Give them time and they will come around. Thanks, Dr. Lautner

How can you tell if your hermit crab is a female?
they have 2 dots under their first set of walking legs called gonopores, if they come far enough out of their shell you can tell. Males do not have the 2 dots. Sometimes your hermit crab may to shy to come far out enough for you to tell. but just be patient with it. ;)
How long does it take for a hermit crab to trust its owner?
It really depends on the hermit crab. Some are quite social while others will never get use to human interaction. It's important to respect the crabs that are afraid of people. If you have an outgoing crab, feel free to socialize with it a little each day until it is use to you. Forcing socialization on a shy crab will only stress it out and possibly cause it to drop legs.
