Land hermit crabs can live many years if properly cared for. I have had one for over 11 years now. If your crab dies after three months- or worse, one week!- then you either bought a sick crab or you're doing something very wrong. something wrong meaning feeding too much or to little not wetting the sponge very often, changing the water every day or giving them baths
and i have one too and it dies lastnight or today. we have him for 5 months.

∙ 8y agosorry this probably isn't the answer to your question but hermit crabs are really hard to breed because when the babies hatch on the water they need to swim around and find food in the water. I found hemit crab eggs in the water but obvisly they died.

How do hermit crabs have hermit crabs in a cage?
Your pet hermit crabs were harvested from the wild, as it is nearly impossible, without a very complex set up, for hermit crabs to hatch and live past the zoea stage. Generally this complex of a setup is only found in scientific laboratories, as one must mimic the fluctuating tides of the ocean. As far as I know, even scientists have an extremely hard time breeding hermit crabs with success in captivity. There are times when one may purchase a female hermit crab that is already carrying eggs, and you may find them in your marine salt water dish (you should definitely have marine salt water available to them, they need it for molting), but they won't survive long if they hatch at all.
