It really depends on the hermit crab. Some are quite social while others will never get use to human interaction. It's important to respect the crabs that are afraid of people. If you have an outgoing crab, feel free to socialize with it a little each day until it is use to you. Forcing socialization on a shy crab will only stress it out and possibly cause it to drop legs.
