Thats where they live, why would they get out just to die? They would rather die than be forced out of their shells, so when they shell fight, the loser will most likely die. :(
Answer: Usually a sea snail's.
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.
No, Hermit Crabs molt due to bodily changes. After molting they find new shells to fit their new body.
They don't die in their shells they crawl out of their shells to die...(I read this from somewhere so I am not too sure...)
Hermit crabs have adapted to live in shells, so they will die without a shell. This is because they cant revolutionize over night it taks millions of years.
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
Empty snail shells.
no they do not fall out their shells they will just simply stay in their shells and if u dont see them moving at all their dead
They got there name because they were hermits since they lived and hid in shells thats why they are hermit crabs.
Hermit crabs do not care much for the color of the shell, however, they prefer shells with a pearl lining inside. Ecuadorian hermit crabs are very picky for their shells though! Try to get the same shape and colour of shell for these ones.
Hermit crabs do excrete waste, they pee so little, you dont notice it, and they store it in their shells and scoop it out, along with excrement.
Well, they live in shells, and when no one is there, they don't come out very often, so they are hermits. And they are related to crabs...so....hermit crabs!
