they don't like each other and want to get away from each other.
Means the crab hides in his shell and doesn't play with the other crabs.
there are many species of hermit crab which one do you mean?the common hermit crabs species is bernhardus
Do you mean the scientific name? Land hermit crabs fall under the genus Coenobita and the most common crab is the species Clypeatus.
If you mean will it kill the crab, no. However the hermit crab probably won't be able to use most toys. Depending on what it is.
To hermit crabbers, these squeaks are called chirps, hermies make those noises when they are communicating with other hermies, for they are very very very social.
It is a sign of insecurity and or tiredness
its dead!!!
no as long as you take care of it and you are not overcrowding the tank
It is considered a limb, not an arm. And the loss of a limb does not necessarily mean the hermie crab has died, but is a hermit crab that is very stressed. One needs to double check their tank perimeters to make sure they are correct.
If your hermit crab is on its back, ?maybe try to turn him over? I think he might be sick. What's the heat and percentage in humidity? What are you feeding him/her? That could definietly affect your hermit crab's health. I would reccomend asking someone at a pet store or something.
This is nothing bad usually hermit crabs change colors so if your hermit crab is ashy purple theres nothing to worry about it wont burn in flames
It means the hermie is healthy, mine has that too.
