yes because the crabs could hurt or even kill the guinea pig with its claws

it's the only way to get away from you
Land hermit crabs don't, they put them on damp sand at low tide, when the tide rises it carries the eggs away.
Hermit crabs pull themselves up into their hard shell. Other crabs must just get away as fast as they can.
im pretty sure that not all crabs eat hermit crab food. unless that u mean that do all hermit crabs eat hermit crab food? then the answer to that is yes. all hermit crabs eat hermit crab food.
You can if you want to, but you can actually keep it in there and let it serve as another food choice for the hermit crab.
Hermit crabs protect themselves by the shells they live in. By living in shells they are able to hide in them, away from predators.
It is very unlikely that a hermit crab will lay eggs in captivity, and if it does lay eggs, the eggs will die right away, they need special cells that only live in the ocean, that we can not provide in captivity.
Room temperature is best (around 74*F/23*C). I tired to keep mine out of air conditioned rooms, but away from direct heat. If you want to know more about how to care for hermit crabs, go to hermit-crabs.com.
Whenever they molt, they get bigger. People dont know how fast exactly, but many times a year.
Hermit crabs eat many many things!~ They eat worms, Plankton, lots of oraganic foods and some meat these are basicly things we eat!!~Land hermit crabs are omnivores. They eat whatever they can find like meat and plants.
If your hermit crab runs away the best thing to do is place some aluminum foil down with some tuna and some water in the center. The hermit crabs will move toward water. Check the bathrooms and the waterheater room if they have access. Hermit crabs can roam quite aways so don't be surprised if you find them 3 rooms over!
