Yes hermit crabs are good pets. I love my hermit crabs and they come from Australia! I've had them for a long time now, and I haven't once regretted getting them!
They really enjoy walking and climbing around in the dark. They also love eating a variety of foods to keep them active so they can walk around in their cage.
Another great thing is they help people learn responsibility and if your child is a child who is really responsible then you should get him or her one, for fun, even though they are already responsible. They only pinch if you shake them, drop them, or scare them.
And they will eat anything you give them but only give them dairy foods once and a while.
I'm a different user but i agree they are great. they are easy to take care of and are great for first pets. They are even great as a millionth pet! I go to this little island i only know of and i call it crab island because it has tons of both land and sea crabs! I play with them and give them food and water. I do this because sometimes it's really hard for them to find food so i can help them an bring them plenty of food water and toys. i think they are really happy most of the time. I always let them out to run around and explore. I just think they are such interesting and fum little creatures. And I love them, and agree that they are in fact, great pets and companions.
Show Love and CARE for your hermit crab.
Most likely a land hermit crab, but you should always check with the person that sold it to you.
Don't let that person handle your hermit crab.
You should let it mold. It is part of life for a Hermit crab.
You should clean your hermit crab tank once a week to maintain a healthy environment for your pets.

What is a Hermit Crab's predator?
The hermit crab was given their names because they live in a shell, alone. But hermit crabs are the very sosial and you should buy at least 3 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 :)
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.

Hermit crabs do not bite, they pinch. When a hermit crab pinches you that means that they are intimidated and stressed out, and possibly hungry. In your crabitat there should always be fresh food available to your hermit crab so it does not starve.
