of course, it has nostrils
Actually it doesn't take very long for a hermit crab to smell when it's dead. They will not smell if they just died. About 10-15 mins they will start to smell. You have to put the hermit crab up to your nose in order to smell the rotten fish smell.
Yes
Its a good if it doesn't smell if it smells that can be a bad thing like ...... dead hermit crab, mold or mildew so its a good think. my tank doesn't smell that's a sign of a good tank and a happy hermit crab
yes, but not too bad, rather than a light smell
first you have to learn the smell of the crab then sniff it out
If it doesnt smell bad or if it doesnt have a rich red color.
If a hermit crab is dead it will begin to give off a rotting smell after just a couple days and will not make even the tiniest of twitches.
Mine is dead. It is hanging out of its shell and is not moving.
Smell the tank, if it smells like a dead fish, then a hermie is dead :(:(
Overpowering crab smell; slimy shell; meat no longer firm and/or crusty and brownish where cut from body and lack of taste. All this means crab was either defrosted and refrozen or frozen too long. Discard.
Check if it is moving because it is most likely dead. If it is dead it will smell like dead fish Or check its food. It might be making the smell.
yea its dead
