This depends on the type of hermit crab, along with the age, and in some cases, gender.

take the dead crab out of the shell.
Hermit crab.
Shell fish are more like hermit crabs living in a shell, crayfish are like mini lobsters....Crayfish, Shellfish, Jellyfish and Silverfish are not real fish!The answer is NO.
Most crabs shed their shell and then their outer areas harden up and become a new one. Hermit crabs will enforce their shells with a snail type shell and will switch to a larger shell as they grow.
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 :)
If You figure this out let me know.... just noticed mom hermit dead but baby hermit inside moms shell.... hmmm lol
you can have your hand flat out and u can let them crawl on your hand you canvhold them by their shell
homeless dog Hermit crab?
it means that it is time for it to grow and will change it's shell when it is done. If you see the shedded exoskeleton, DO NOT REMOVE IT because the hermit crab will be hungry and will eat the exoskeleton for calcium. my hermit crab is eating his molted claw right now... kinda wierd though
get a large cup and put the shell or the toy inside. Then get a pan and boil the water inside it. put the water in the cup and wait 2 minutes then take the shells out of the cup and put them in the hermit crab cage.
