get a large cup and put the shell or the toy inside. Then get a pan and boil the water inside it. put the water in the cup and wait 2 minutes then take the shells out of the cup and put them in the hermit crab cage.
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.
Hermit crab mites are like head lice for crabs. They are small wingless insects that crawl around inside the shells of hermit crabs. And, just like lice, they have nothing to do with how clean or dirty the habitat or crabs are. Mites can hide out in hermit crab toys, bedding and even food.

What is a Hermit Crab's predator?
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.

If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)

You need to take out the hermit crabs and put them in a diffrent container. take out toys, wood, water dishes, food dish and boil them in water NO SOAP it hurts the hermit crabs. Next you need to take out substrate and get new substrate. wash out tank and leave it to dry in a sunny location. Lastly put all the stuff back in it and add your hermies back in.
Get hermit crab food from the pet store.
