naturally around tropical areas near the ocean
hermit crabs mate in waters so if they are in captivity no in the wild yes hermit crabs mate in waters so if they are in captivity no in the wild yes
On some beaches and especially in the Caribbean. But PLEASE don't take hermit crabs from the beach or other wild places, they WILL die. Buy them from pet stores instead.
they eat anything they can get their claws on in the wild.
Hermit crabs in captivity cannot mate. Unless you live on a tropical island with wild hermit crabs, there's no need to worry. They were probably just playing.
the wild populations of land hermit crabs are decreasing because of people collecting them for the pet business :(
not pet hermit crabs... they are too weak and fragile to keep the hermit crab save although wild hermit crabs might use them the would be sea snails which have harder shells
In the wild, land hermit crabs live in jungles, forests, and even gardens in warm areas. Water hermit crabs live in the warm oceans.
Wild hermit crabs eat just about anything they are scavengers
Actually, you can't make your crabs have babies in captivity, they can only reproduce in the wild because they lay their eggs in the ocean.
In the wild, hermit crabs typically inhabit coastal areas, where they can find a variety of shells to use as their protective homes. They are scavengers, feeding on algae, dead animals, and detritus. Hermit crabs are known for their ability to adapt to different environments by moving into larger shells as they grow, and they are also known to engage in social interactions with other hermit crabs.
Hermit crabs live in sea snail shells so the hermit crabs go in which ever shell they think will be comfy, like turbo shells. Also hermit crabs love shells with a pearl color inside.
Hermit crabs find their food 2 ways by seeing another crab eating it or just by smelling it. I know this because I have 2 hermit crabs myself.
