they don't hibernate. they do tunnel down into the sand to molt (shed their exoskelaton and grow). the length of molting depends on the size of the crab. tiny ones can take two weeks, meduim (Golf ball sized) can take from two weeks to a month or two, really big ones can even take 3 months. never disturb a crab while it is molting.

Can hermit crabs live without heat?
A hermit crab can go with out others but I is highly recommended. Hermit crabs are social animals and like to live together. They get lonely. In the wild hermit crabs live in colonies or clans.It can survive but hermit crabs are colony species, living in groups of hundreds of crabs. They do best with other crabs nearby. I suggest having a minimum of two or three. They can get very lonely.You can have one hermit crab though. But as the person above said, they can get lonely.User:Gab33Not really. For some months yes but if they go a long period of time without any other hermit crab contact they won't be doing so well. If they get lonely then its really not good for them. You really need another hermit crab.
