How do you play with your hermit crab?

Answer 1

You can hold it, but dont hold it too long. They also play with other hermit crabs in the tank, like climbing. If you dont have more than 1 hermit crab Now, you need another one because hermit crabs are very social and love to have a mate, and they can die from stress of not playing.

Answer 2

You can but you and your crab should be comfortable with the little guy crawling on you.

1.Get it's favorite treat or food, and put a smalll amount on your hand.

2.Let it crawl around on your hand with the food on it,if it pinches,DO NOT sling your hand around,that could disrupt it's organs,remember,they ARE softshelled.

3.If it doesn't work after like 20 min. put it back in the cage and take out food in cage,then wait about 10 min. then repeat,it will probably be hungry,if not repeat ALL steps.And wait.It worked for me.But try asking a professional.I hoped this helped!

Answer 3

hold it upside hold it on its back

hold it only that way or it'll die

There really isn't a wrong way. But the safe way is to have thumb and fingers pointing forward on the main part of the shell just behind the claws so it can't pinch you.
