hermit crabs are very pickey about there new domane or house put more than one shell in the cage.:)
Well, nothing. Lol. But also if you try to pick it up it will kinda spill out of its shell. If your hermit crab is dead we offer our sympathies. Here- have a smoothie.
They say that a drop from about 3 feet can kill your hermit crab. If you dropped your hermit crab the first thing you should do is see if it's dead. It's body will look droopy and a dead hermit crab can start to smell like rotten fish. If your crab happeneds to still be alive but it's she'll is completely crAcked then gently scoop it up and put it into its cage with a bunch of shell options so they can pick a new shell.
Get it a bigger shell, and he'll leave the old one to live in the new one...
Hermit Crabs shells do not really form a shell they find shells that fit them and then when they grow they shed there outer skin a grow new skin and they might pick a new shell afterwards Hope this helped!!
You dip him in water and tickle his legs. Or, if you're dealing with a land hermit crab, you pick him up and blow in his face about 2 times and he/she will eventualy come out.
pick it up and if it doesnt respond it may have died
No, it means that you need to get it a new shell because it has grown out of its old one.
Hermit crabs will sometimes come out of their shells under their own free will. However, if you pick up the crab'ss shell and it falls out easily, it is dead. When still alive, the crab will hold onto the inside of the shell.
well hello you pick them up by there shell nicely and palce it on you hand and than the will tickle you and it feels cool. i have 2 of my own and they enjoy getting picked up i hope i help you 2012
pick it up and if it doesnt respond it may have died
Not necessarily. Hermit crab do spend some time sitting to destress or simply take a nap. If a hermit crab is completely unresponsive it may be a number of problems but first check your humidity and temperature as they can be early culprits of inactivity.
its dead sorry
