For most crabs, mating season occurs during warmer weather, and if the crab makes its home in the ocean, the waters need to be a warm temperature as well. When this time arrives, male crabs must find a female crab that has matured sexually and attract her. They do this by performing an elaborate mating dance. Usually, the male crab will rise onto the tips of his legs and move from side to side in front of the female. At the same time he will wave his claws in the air to attract her. This dance is not only done to grab the female's attention, it is also the time when the male sends out pheromones from glands under his claws into the air. These chemicals sexually attract females and get them ready for the mating ritual. The male will continue to do this until he finds a female who is ready and willing to mate.

They didnt ask if Crabs could have babies, They asked HOW they had babies. And my responce to that question is In the wild, Hermit crab females lay eggs that she releases in the ocean and the babies grow up on the tide. Once in a great while a hermit crab will make eggs and one or two times they have hatched but the the tiny babies can't live to get bigger because the need to be in the ocean and even our salt water in the tanks isn't good enough because in the ocean they eat the tiny little creatures that live in the sea (protozoa). ;)

Crabs lay eggs into water where they are fertilized and hatch into small creatures that live in the zooplankton before settling to be bottom to grow into adult crabs.
