What if you don't have a new shell for your hermit crab?
It will either stay out of it's shell or have a shell fight with another crab to take its shell. I do not recommend letting your crab have no shell for very long though, it makes them very vulnerable and stressed out making them a good target for other crabs to harm.

Hermit crabs do not 'go to the bathroom'. In other words hermit crabs DO NOT POO. I have had hermit crabs, and I know they definitely don't poo.

How do you know if your hermit crab is a male or female?
Female hermit crabs have gonopores on their second set of walking legs, whereas male hermit crabs do not have gonopores at all. You can see pictures to illustrate this by clicking on the related link, below.You may be able to see whether your hermit crab has gonopores during or after it's weekly bath. You could also try to see by gently placing the crab inside a clear glass bowl and, as the crab tries to climb the slippery surface, you may be able to view the second pair of walking legs.However, many hermit crabs are reluctant to come far enough out of their shells for you to tell whether they have gonopores or not. Some may never let you see. You should not try holding the crab above a table and making it reach out as your crab can easily hurt itself by doing this.You must be very patient and must never try to force them to come out of their shell. Pulling on the crab can seriously harm, or even kill, the crab because it will hold so tightly to the shell to try and protect itself that you could tear it apart.Per #6 of WikiAnswers Copyright Violation and Plagiarism Policy cited from Crab Street Journal.com
What happens if you feed a hermit crab human food?
Well, it probably won't harm them if the food does not have preservatives or spices because they can eat just about anything. My little sister's hermit crab survived a month in the wild when we accidentally thought it was dead and buried it. A month later we found it alive in our front yard so a hermit crab can survive a long time on just about any food. I would recommend getting it crab food soon though because that is what they prefer.
