Why do vets not work with hermit crabs?
Like snails, it is incredibly difficult to humanely get the shell off hermit crabs and ensure they'll still live. Also, because of the fact they have an exoskeleton (skeleton on the outside), injecting needles cannot get through to their innards. They hide when you touch them, plus they're quite small compared to most pets.
How do hermit crabs fall in love?
Hermit crabs don't experience love in the way humans do, but they do engage in social behaviors and bonding. During mating, male hermit crabs will perform a courtship display to attract females, which may include waving their claws or engaging in gentle touch. After mating, females can store sperm to fertilize their eggs later, indicating a level of reproductive strategy rather than emotional attachment. Their interactions are primarily driven by survival and reproduction rather than romantic feelings.
Do crayfish have a nervous system?
Unlike humans who have a big brain and lots of nerves to send signals down the body, the hermit crab and other crustaceans have a much more primitive system. They have a primitive ventral nerve cord and ganglia system similar to an earthworm. Hermit Crabs have good vision thanks to their compound eyes on stalks (although can't look below them) and sensory organs are found on the body. Like true crabs, hermit crabs have bristles and hairs all over their body - but mostly on their walking legs - which act as touch receptors. The long antennae of hermit crabs - longer than other crabs - have smell sensors, used to find their food. Smell detectors are also found on the legs. When a hermit crab walks over food, its legs smell it, and the chelipeds quickly grasp it and move it into the mouth.
Does a hermit crab bite get infected?
The most common "illness" (not including lack of proper care) is called Post-Purchase Stress (PPS). Hermit Crabs are very very very difficult, almost impossible, to breed in captivity, so all hermit crabs found in pet stores are wild caught. The stress of being plucked from a beach, forced into a deadly painted shell, being shipped off to a pet store where they are poked at by children, and trying to adjust to a plastic cage full of pink sand and wet sponges (this, sadly, is the most common, though very incorrect, set-up I have seen) kills many.

Why do hermit crabs in the wild live longer than hermit crabs in captivity?
I've heard of hermit crabs being bred in the lab (I'm not aware of official documentation, however), but no home setup would be able to handle it. The life cycle of a hermit crab is far too complex; you can't just throw a male and female crab in 10 gallon aquarium and wait to see what happens. The process is very tedious--even if you were able to provide the proper setup for breeding, you would have to sustain the offspring for months until they were even close the the size of the hermit crabs at pet stores (not to mention your responsibility for the adult crab!). No average person has the time or money to do this properly.
How do you get a hermit crab to eat?
Some hermit crabs can be picky, and a few of them will not touch store bought crab food. Try introducing some fresh foods, like non-salted boiled egg or fresh washed fruit. They only need very tiny pieces. It will not appear like they are eating much. Throw out what they do not eat each day.
