Do hermit crabs reproduce?
Because they give birth in the edge of the ocean, and we dont have the right conditions for it, it would be very difficult to breed hermit crabs. however, there is at least one lady who is trying to do so and has had some marginal success - so for now we are just waiting to see what happens. She had to have an ocean reef setup and cycled so that she could put the mature eggs in there to hatch and live until they can occupy shells. Mnay crab owners have had pregnant females, but without an ocean reef - the zoea die. go to http://www.thecrabbagepatch.com/lifecycle.html to read the full story :)
