Hermit crabs typically molt every few weeks to several months, depending on their age, size, and environmental conditions. Juvenile hermit crabs may molt more frequently, while adults may do so less often. The molting process allows them to grow and is crucial for their health, as it involves shedding their old exoskeleton and forming a new one. Proper habitat conditions, including humidity and temperature, play a significant role in the frequency and success of molting.
