As hard as it can be to do, you have to lay your hand, and if possible the crab, flat on something like a table or counter, be still and wait. As soon as everything is still and quiet enough for it, it will let go.

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

What type of land crabs are best to buy?

* It's best to buy a hermit crab with a natural shell rather than a painted one if possible. The paint from hermit crab shells often flakes off over time and can be eaten by the crab. The paint flakes can also find their way inside the shell and can irritate the crab's skin. Some crabs have even had paint flakes puncture their skin. * Before a hermit crab is brought home, all of the necessary hermit crab care items should also be bought if the pet owner doesn't already have them. These include several hermit crab shells of various sizes, a sponge for his water, hermit crab food and a large enough cage to house the crab and all of his supplies. == == anymore questions?? contact me at bubbliciousbridgette@yahoo.com
