My hermit crab has shedded it's exoskeleton but is staying in the same shell is this normal?
Hermit crabs need a shell because inside of the their shell is their soft tail or body. It needs it's shell because other hermit crabs can hurt or damage their tail or body that's inside of the shell. Hermit crabs will always be in a shell. The only time when they aren't in a shell is that quick few seconds when they change shells into a bigger one to grow. If your hermit crab is running around without it's shells there is something wrong with your crab. Go to the Mall of America (Nickaloden Universe) what ever you want to call it and ask the person why. I bet he can help you.

It could be because the shell is dirty, to small or searching for a new one. Hermit crabs are always in their shells. Hermit crabs will never leave their shells unless switching. IF your hermit crab is running around without it's shell there is something wrong with it.AnswerThis could be because it has outgrown its shell and is searching for a larger one. A tight-fitting shell stunts the crab's growth, making it easier for a predator to eat it. There is always lots of competition between hermit crabs for their shells. This could also be because the hermit crab is stressed out because of lack of humidity or temp not being right. The hermit crab is vulnerable without his shell so separating him from the others and providing him with tons of shells helps. You can even use the cup method and place the crab gently in a cup with a shell. This helps sometimes.
