The skin covering are called the exoskeletons because they are invertabrates.
Hermit crabs Molt so they store up food and distilled water and bury themself underground, it can take weeks to months.
If you think your hermit crab is dead do NOT dig them up if your tank smells like dead fish then it is dead. they also need to eat their old ekoskeleton (i know it's gross) because it have all the vitamins it will need for a while still give it food.

What type of land crabs are best to buy?
* It's best to buy a hermit crab with a natural shell rather than a painted one if possible. The paint from hermit crab shells often flakes off over time and can be eaten by the crab. The paint flakes can also find their way inside the shell and can irritate the crab's skin. Some crabs have even had paint flakes puncture their skin. * Before a hermit crab is brought home, all of the necessary hermit crab care items should also be bought if the pet owner doesn't already have them. These include several hermit crab shells of various sizes, a sponge for his water, hermit crab food and a large enough cage to house the crab and all of his supplies. == == anymore questions?? contact me at bubbliciousbridgette@yahoo.com
