the look like this
When a hermit crab sheds you will see something come out of the shell and it looks like its dead it only sheds halfway and if you look inside the shell it will still be there.
no because they cant live without their shell
If you own a hermit crab, they ALWAYS have to change shells. So, when they change it you will see their 'belly' when they move to shell to shell. Do not try pulling it out of it's shell, that is very rude and cruel
what it looks like is a naked hermit crab so if your hermit crab isn't picking it shell for almost a day get more changing shells so if your hermit crab is naked don't worry just give them some time
Hermit crabs can. It happens when the hermit crab is changing its shell and falls over or when the hermit crab is dead it slides out or falls out of its shell! Sadly they can't always get back in there shells and die.
they look like they have 5 little fingers that have points a small claw and 2 one inch high eyes
Like all shell-bearing creatures, a hermit crab also sheds its shell when it has grown too big to fit it. In the place of the old shell, a new shell has already started growing. The hermit crab has a very soft abdomen or 'tail' as it is generally referred to. It is folded under the body. Nevertheless the shell of the hermit crab does not protect its tail as is the case with all other crabs. After shedding its old shell, the hermit crab keeps the empty shell with itself taking full utility of it as a portable shelter, which could come in handy, if it has to fight with another crab for a more attractive home. This leads to situations sometimes where the homeseeker crab actually succeeds in kicking the original homeowner out of the home and instead eats it up and takes over the shell. The claws of the hermit crab are not equal in size. One of the claws is always bigger than the other one. Having a spiral shaped abdomen, the hermit crab moves in and out of the shell with a stride that is virtually spiral. Well, hermit crabs look like a crab in a shell. they have 2 claws, one big one for defence, one small one for scavenging or eating.they have antenea that shoot around like an insects if the animal is healthy.4 legs I think all around the same size.
They say that a drop from about 3 feet can kill your hermit crab. If you dropped your hermit crab the first thing you should do is see if it's dead. It's body will look droopy and a dead hermit crab can start to smell like rotten fish. If your crab happeneds to still be alive but it's she'll is completely crAcked then gently scoop it up and put it into its cage with a bunch of shell options so they can pick a new shell.
Hermit crabs do not 'go to the bathroom'. In other words hermit crabs DO NOT POO. I have had hermit crabs, and I know they definitely don't poo. Hermit crabs use all the energy and nutrients from their food and turn it into vitamins for the body. Hermit crabs are great pets, as there is no stinky poo to clean out!!!
in the very back section of your hermit crabs back look to see if it has 4 holes if it does its a girl if not a boy
It is a green hermit crab with blue claws.
No. They look more like lobsters.
