They're only sleeping, I swear.
They get visited by a stork.

Your hermies are communicating.
Well if you have a friend who lives close and has hermit crabs then when you are hanging out at each others houses you could bring your hermit crab with you and put it in their tank. (You need a little moving tank. The very small ones with a little handle on the top.) But when you leave you need to bring your hermit crab with you. ~EEE2
This happend to me once. I had a hermit crab for about 5 months and then its shell got too small for its body, so we had to buy a larger shell so it can go back in it. If it doesnt go back in it some how dehydrates.
yes. Crabs can walk backwards and sideways
You can tell a land hermit crab from a water hermit crab by looking at the claws/arms or legs. If it is a water crab it will be blueish and if land crab it will be pinkish purpleish. If your crab is a water crab don't just throw it in water and leave it there, put a tiny bowl in it's tank or cage that is low to the ground and make sure that the water level is a bit lower than the hermit crabs top of its legs. Also have a wet sponge for each kind of hermit crab in the crabs tank.
You should not force a hermit crab completely out of their shell because they would rather die then be forced out of their shell But if you want to know how to make their legs and eyes and anntenue so they will walk around then you could try lifting up their shell or gently squirting them with a spritz bottle filled with dechlorinated
A colony of hermit crabs can be found piled on top of one another when they are sleeping. They are considered as very social creatures.
Do not kill a hermit crab! They always die because of stress because people never take care of them right. They need distilled water, sea salt water, humidity, temp, and so much more. If u kill one on purpose thats called animal abuse.
I wouldn't reccommmend a heating pad for a hermit crab, but would you like to know what does keep them warm and cozy? Just put their cage on top of the drying machine! I do it for my crab, and he has lived for a very long time. The heat rises into their habitat creating a climate very similar to their habitat in the wild.
You get a shell, or a bowl that is close to the ground an put applesauce in it. if you leave him alone, he will eat it.
