If he was a big one he would have been older when you bought him from the pet shop
the crab will sooner or later die off DO NOT REMOVE THE HERMIT CRAB SHELL if a crab dies out of it dries out and its a slow death so for the sake of the crab DO NOT REMOVE THE CRAB SHELL
They cannot live with a land hermit crab because land hermit crabs live out of water so the fish would die (as you know) if it is out of water.
If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
i have a hermit crab and mine had a baby. So the original hermit crab died and grew out of its shell for the baby.
its brenda the hermit crab i own it it was so expensive
not all hermit crabs bury themselves so nothing is wrong with your hermit crab
they will die so dont do it
what it looks like is a naked hermit crab so if your hermit crab isn't picking it shell for almost a day get more changing shells so if your hermit crab is naked don't worry just give them some time
It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!
I'm guessing so... Like the hermit crab that's dead, it's body gets devoured and its shell becomes deserted. Why not Google it?
Hermit crabs do not bite, they pinch. When a hermit crab pinches you that means that they are intimidated and stressed out, and possibly hungry. In your crabitat there should always be fresh food available to your hermit crab so it does not starve.
