Birds and reptiles both do. Some insects and arachnids molt. Birds molt feathers from time to time. Reptiles molt their top layer of skin. Animals with exoskeletens, such as hermit crabs, also molt.
Hermit crab molting is a very important part of your new little friend’s life and is vital if he is to grow and even replenish damaged or lost limbs. It refers to shedding of the exoskeleton and formation of a new exoskeleton. I know a lot of new owners really worry about the molting process and are concerned if they have had their crabs for a while and no molting has occurred.As a rule, crabs will molt about once a year, although smaller crabs may molt more frequently. The following site will give you more information about molting and other important topics related to hermit crabs. :)http://www.hermitcrabcenter.com/hermit-crab-molting/

lobsters, hermit crabs, snails, most insects
Yes. In most arthropods, molting occurs at the end of every juvenile phase to allow the individual to accumulate more mass and bigger size while still retaining the exoskeleton. Molting usually ends once the animal achieves adult size, such as with insects and many arachnids. In other arthropods, such as with crabs, lobsters and tarantulas, molting continues even in adulthood.
Monkeys, lemurs, crabs, birds and insects
All hermit crabs eat a variety of diets from fruits and plants, dead animals and insects, even feces.
