I personally, dont use a sponge beacuse it gets dirty too much, i just mist the crabitat until it have enough humidity. You dont have to change the sponge, if it gets really dirty, boil it in distilled water and place it back in. You need to change the hermie sponge when it becomes so small you cant really use it.
When ever a hermit crab grows out of its old shell it finds a new one to call home. There is no set amount of times a hermit crab will change its shells. The hermit crab will only change shells if it has grown to big for its original one. Otherwise, the hermit crab will not change shells. It all depends on the hermit crab's growth rate and size.
Typically Hermit crab blood is blue, but at times it can be clear.

It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!
What is a Hermit Crab's predator?
no, a land hermit crab is not supposed to eat the sponge unless they are in bad condition
3 times a day
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.

If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
I think they have to molt first.
None. They can do it for themselves.
