They both are crabs right?
The land hermit crab has a big claw and a small claw. The ocean hermit crab's claw's are the same size.
Yes, hermit crabs don't usually fight. You could give the new hermit crab a bath so that it smells the same as the other hermit crab in you tank.
yes
Hermit crabs are invertebrates. They are arthropods and thus within the same phylum as insects, but they are crustaceans and NOT insects. Hermit Crab Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Crustacea Class: Malacostraca Order:Decapoda Superfamiliy: Paguroidea
probably not. but, you can always use your hermit crab as a guinnea pig for the rest of civilization wondering the same thing, then report back to us!
Congratulations! No need to rename it. It's the same hermit crab. It molted it's old skin! This means your hermit crab is perfectly healthy and can grow! Make sure you have a slightly bigger shell though. Leave it alone until it walks around and is very healthy.
Hermit crabs don't have a regular size because they grow, they don't stay the same size.
nope its impossible but if u dont want ur house then u can
Well for the safety of your hermit crabs i would use the basic rule of 1gallon of tank space per hermit crab..... so you could get any size you want.... but lets say you had a 10gallon tank so you could have 10 hermit crabs in the same tank.
If your land hermit crab's shell gets to small get a new shell. The shell hole should be the same size as your crab's big claw or bigger Make sure your crab's new shell is clean. DO NOT FORCE YOU CRAB TO COME OUT! All you have to do is set your crab's new shell in it's cage and wait.
they eat the same thing as a small clawed hurmit crab
You will know when your hermit crab is about to die because it will not move in the shell. When it is not moving it starts to fall out of its shell. Like my hermit crabs 2 of them died and now I only have 1. The first and second one did the same thing of course but they both fell out. You also know when a hermit crab dies, when they a pale or there skin is different. They will not hide into there shell at all. Hopefully your hermit crabs are in good health like mine were!!!
