I used to have a Hermit Crab that was originally wild, Buddy. He needed more space than my sister's tame crab, Friendly. Also, Friendly was a little lazy. Buddy wanted to climb all day. I don't know if all wild Hermits are like this

∙ 14y agoAny crab that you have purchased will be old enough to take care of itself. Because hermit crabs do not breed in captivity there is little documented about care of baby hermit crabs. We know that they need a living ocean environment to survive, and after several weeks emerge looking for their first shell, which is very small.
