Before a hermit crab molts it needs a salt water dish and it will eat extra food and drink extra water, then it will dig underground to molt.
no not usually
As it molts, it will grow. :)
No, it regrows them
Soft.
A hermit crab only molts when it feels it needss to. Make sure you have plenty of soil in your hermit crab home.
There is not one person who has a hermit crab with a missing leg. I found a hermit crab with a missing leg and even though the store keeper told me that he had a missing leg I still felt I had a bond with him. If you do get a hermit crab with a missing leg you just have to wait until it molts. Once it molts the leg will grow back and it will be like it never had a missing leg in the first place.
well theres really nothing you can do just wait for a full 30 days thats all you can do.
i went down to the Florida keys and found them in a shell store. i asked the lady working there how long they live. i was told they live in captivity about 30 years.
you have to buy a shell because if it molts without something to go into it will die in a matter of hours ....... my hermit crab died like that it was sad!!!
Well first it starts to walk slow then when it molts (shed skin) it stays inside its shell for 1-5 days and DO NOT DISTURB it while it stays in its shell it regain strenghth.
While a hermit crab will not die from losing a claw, I hope you don't mean you are going to purposely cut it off. It will regrow it's claw within a few molts.
Yes hermit crabs do have feet, it is the little segment at the bottom of their leg. But if it is missing don't worry it will grow back the next time it molts.
