Why do vets not work with hermit crabs?

Like snails, it is incredibly difficult to humanely get the shell off hermit crabs and ensure they'll still live. Also, because of the fact they have an exoskeleton (skeleton on the outside), injecting needles cannot get through to their innards. They hide when you touch them, plus they're quite small compared to most pets.
