give them food both freash and salt water
Actually, you can't make your crabs have babies in captivity, they can only reproduce in the wild because they lay their eggs in the ocean.
hermit crabs mate in waters so if they are in captivity no in the wild yes hermit crabs mate in waters so if they are in captivity no in the wild yes
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
they eat anything they can get their claws on in the wild.
Hermit crabs in captivity cannot mate. Unless you live on a tropical island with wild hermit crabs, there's no need to worry. They were probably just playing.
the wild populations of land hermit crabs are decreasing because of people collecting them for the pet business :(
not pet hermit crabs... they are too weak and fragile to keep the hermit crab save although wild hermit crabs might use them the would be sea snails which have harder shells
In the wild, land hermit crabs live in jungles, forests, and even gardens in warm areas. Water hermit crabs live in the warm oceans.
Wild hermit crabs eat just about anything they are scavengers
Hermit crabs live in sea snail shells so the hermit crabs go in which ever shell they think will be comfy, like turbo shells. Also hermit crabs love shells with a pearl color inside.
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.
Yes they do. Out in the wild hermit crabs live in groups up to hundreds. but in captivity i would have at least 3.
