If your Hermit Crab has babies then leave them. You would hate it if the mother abandoned the babies and they died. Leave the litter for 2 - 4 months atleast until they get a shell and their skeloton hardens. Look after them propoly.

Hermit crabs will look for a new shell when they get too big for the one they are living in. If the crab is in a tank, place some alternative "homes" for him to browse through.

It may have outgrown its previous shell -- give it a larger one to make a new home!

Hermit crabs do not procreate in captivity. They lay their eggs in the sea.

In captivity, you can't. They need the micro-bacteria of the ocean to grow into babies from the egg stage.
