It is not necessary to bathe your hermit crabs but if you would like to bathe them, this is what I do:

-fill a container with enough dechlorinated water to fully submerge your largest crab.

-Place the crab in the water upside-down

-Leave the crab in the water for two minutes.

Don't leave it in the water for too long or it will drown. Once you place the crab in the water upside-down, it will flip itself over and begin walking around or just sit there.

How did the hermit crab gets its name?

It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits.
