maby 2 days they need special care need a bath food water and to be keept moist to survive and are verry social and don't whant to be alone and if you picked it up by the ocean it will most likely die by shock.
No animal should live in a bucket. I recommend buying a couple gallon plastic tank. Put sand, water, food, etc. On average they can live for 6 months in a bucket. But, they will probally kick the bucket soon.
if you keep it in a bucket of salt and water, it will live.
A Hermit crab can live up to 100 years of age
It depends.
10 years
Stone crab have a life span of 7 to 8 years.
Straight out of the waters they live in and into the bait bucket. About 3 days.
hi good morning , It is interesting how crabs think and work together. I've gone crabbing on the west coast. You can put a crab in a bucket about 12 inches deep and it will easily reach up over the lip of the bucket and succeed in climbing out. But an interesting thing happens when you have 2 or more crabs in the same bucket. As the first crab reaches up to pull itself out and starts to succeed, the other crabs reach up to pull the other crab back into the bucket. They will each take turns trying to climb out while the other crabs spend their time pulling the crab that is having success back down into the bucket .
1 year
2 years
for 2 years at the longest
not long there gills will dry out and they will die
