You can't force it to walk it will walk on its own!
Hermit Crabs walk around without shells because they are either molting, the climate is too hot, or they got into a shell fight with another Hermit Crab.
it really depends but some walk around and most go in there shell and sleep.
they walk on them to much
with their legs ok but they walk with their legs bending forward and back, which is different from other crabs as other crabs bend side to side, hope that helps
Yes they can but they really need sand or coconut fiber bedding to walk in when cared for at home.
yes. Crabs can walk backwards and sideways
Hermit crabs need distilled water so you can buy some at a groshery store a gallon for acouple dollars. Hermit crabs also need SEA salted water because they need to walk around in it to harden their exoskeleton. Do NOT use table salt, or tap water because the clorine in the tap and the chemicals in the tabel salt can sufocate your hermie's gills (they need 70-85% humidity and they can drown).
Try to handle your crabs as often as you can. Let them walk on the palm of your hand, make your hand flat and stretch out your hand, so no excess skin is there for the crab to picnch on if he gets scared. Play with your crab, let them walk around on your bedroom floor, but watch them carefully. You can also hand feed your hermit crab, if you want to buy the kit, it is at thehermitcrabpatch.com (:
Hermit crabs do need a night and day cycle to their lives to remain healthy. If one cannot provide a natural light during the day, one should invest in a light fixture. As for the night cycle one is not needed, but if one needs the extra warmth in the crabitat, one would use a moon glow bulb with a rare phosphorus coating to simulate the moon.
because of the crabs that walk around on the sand of the ocean.
They have 2 eyes, and 10 legs. They use the back 8 legs to move, and THEIR left (bigger) claw for fighting and climbing. They use their right one for eating mainly. They also have a shell, which is their home. They will move to a slightly bigger shell once they are have got grown alittle, or they have molted.
Scarlet hermit crabs are known to be very peaceful and lazy. They walk very slowly if they are moving at all.
