How do hermit crabs get pregnant and have hermit crab babies?

Answer 1

Some say they are like snails & can produce with out a mate. Land hermit crabs have them on land & water ones in water.

Hermit crabs need a male & female to make babies. They meet at the shore where they mate. The female then leaves with her fertilized eggs. About a month later, she will return to release her eggs into the ocean where they hatch immediately on contact with the water. The babies float & develop (looking like see-through lobsters for a bit) for about another month or so before coming onshore to have their first molt and shell. Once they have had their first molt on land, they are then unable to be under water for extended periods without drowning & begin their life onshore.

Answer 2

The gonopores are the openings into which the male crab places his spermatophore during mating. The male crab, gently tapping and rocking the female crab, encourages her to come out of her shell. The crabs mate in a position where the female's gonopores line up with male's fifth pair of legs. The male gently places his spermatophore into the female's gonopores.
yummmmmmm
You can't. They will mate if they feel so inclined but beyond that there is nothing you can do. The few people that have had successful fertilization in captivity have never been able to keep the babies alive long enough to get them to leave the water and take their first shell.

Answer 3

Male and Female hermit crabs mate and the female lays a clutch of eggs inside her shell which she carries around with her until they are mature and she lays them in the ocean. The baby hermit crabs hatch from the shells and then the babies live in the water for several weeks before coming onto land and finding their first shell.
