Where did hermit crabs get their name?
Hermit crabs get their name by being of the crab family. The hermit part is because of how they live in a shell, alone. But they are very social creatures and live in the wild in hoards. A hermit crab should never be bought alone, being alone makes them get stressed and die easily.
Where is a hermit crabs habitat?
If you are asking about a land hermit crab, their habitat is near the ocean, generally near a fresh water source. They live in the trees and forest around beaches, as well as the sand and rocks. They can travel a mile or more per day foraging for food. They require an extremely varied diet, so it is necessary for them to scavenge far and wide. Some are called "tree crabs" (Coenobita Clypeatus, or Purple Pincer crabs) as they spend a large part of their time up in trees. hermit crabs dig to bury themselves under the sand when they molt (shed their old exoskeleton).
Can you put grass in a hermit crab cage?
no, hermit crabs live at the beach so it is not part of their natural environment. I suggest putting sand or coconut fiber in the bottom of the cage.

Where are hermit crabs found?
you can put sand or stones in a crabs habitat my fiddler crab enjoys hiding under rocks and other things that he can fit into he will go into and space he can to hide so you can put large stones in for them to hide under. i bought a smalldome kind of thing that has a bottem layer then stones on either side to hold a large piece on top of it so he likes to go in there cuz he can sit in the water. also you can buy them beds at the pet store they like those. but all crabs need water so put water in it some crabs need salt water and some need normal water and mine needs part salt and part clean. so i hope this helps :)
In what type of habitat do you think the crab lives why?
Hermit crabs live on the beach, so if you are keeping any as pets I would advise you to give them a mixture of sand and grit, with a few rocks and shells. They probably live on the beach because the beach is where you find shells, and shells are a big part of a hermit crab's life.
What part of the ocean do krill live?
they live in the trench layer. [deepest part of the ocean.] they live next to hydrothermal vents in the ocean. they eat bacteria and mussels that grow on them.
Do hermit crabs need a shell?
Yes! It is very important that a hermit crab has a shell, it is used to protect their bodies. It also saves them from getting eaten by other animals! Though sometimes, you find hermit crabs that haven't found a shell that isn't the right size or shape, and instead of a shell, they might carry things like bottle tops. Usually, hermit crabs try to avoid situations like this but, when they urgently need to change into another shell because their current shell is too small, it will be unavoidable.
Are hermit crabs born with a shell?
yes they do becuse if they dont the part that goes in the shell is very tender and soft and can get dameged very easy so its good to have difernt sized empty shells in the cage so the crab can change the shells when needed
