Many things can stress out a hermit crab. You should have at least 1 gallon of space per hermit crab. Hermies also need the right temp and humidity which BOTH is between 70 and 80. Most hermit crabs you buy are purple pinchers. They are climbers so have alot of climbing toys such as bark for them (do not crowd the tank) they need distilled water, and SEA salt water as well. you should spray their tank LIGHTLY once a day. and have at least 2 hermies.
It needs the right humididty (70-80) and temp (70-80) it also needs about 1 gallon of space per hermie. distilled water, sea salt water, climbing toys, buy at least 2, and have 8 inches of substrate.
I sing children's lullabies very softly to my hermit crabs. Usually they are all curled up in their shells, and when I sing they come out and wave their antennae at me.
It can possibly die. You would need to buy at least one more hermit crab.
YES! even the smallest amout of stress can kill it. You need to have the right humidity,temp,acsessories, ect . . . Google it you'll learn alot.

Hermit crabs get stressed when they get taken from the wild, taken from the pet store, and when they are handled too much.
Hermit crabs do not bite, they pinch. When a hermit crab pinches you that means that they are intimidated and stressed out, and possibly hungry. In your crabitat there should always be fresh food available to your hermit crab so it does not starve.

yes, and that either means it is too small or is stressed out and crawled out of shell or broke it, it is highly dangerous for the hermit crab and will die of depression or their stress levels
It is considered a limb, not an arm. And the loss of a limb does not necessarily mean the hermie crab has died, but is a hermit crab that is very stressed. One needs to double check their tank perimeters to make sure they are correct.

Hermit crabs get their name by being of the crab family. The hermit part is because of how they live in a shell, alone. But they are very social creatures and live in the wild in hoards. A hermit crab should never be bought alone, being alone makes them get stressed and die easily.

Sideways. Glad to help you m8
If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.
