Crustaceans, including crabs, have no spine so are therefore invertebrates.

It is an invertebrate, in fact it is a crustacean as it has a hard shell and soft inside. Other crustaceans are lobsters.

Yes. Hermit crabs eat fruits, veggies, lean (non fatty) not seasoned meats, egg yolk, egg white, egg shell (rich in protein).

Stay AWAY from human foods, such as peanut butter twinkies, and COMMERICAL FOOD, it has harmful preservatives (no matter what it says), and little or no nutrients.

My hermies absolutely LOVE SEA salted nuts, it has to be SEA salted, because table salt sofacates and kills hermies.

Nope! They resemble crustaceans but are part of a different sub phylum. They are Cheliceriforms.

it lost its legs because of stress. maybe you had just gotten it; or maybe the temperature or humidity levels weren't good enough. It died probably because maybe you were handling it while it was molting, or one of the other crabs messed with it. Make sure to move it to an isolation tank with lots of sand, some food and water, when you start to see signs of molting.

Actually lobsters skeletons are do on the outside in order to fight off natural predators such as the hippopotamus (latin name unknown) whose mouths can open to 150 degree angles. The lobster has a very small mouth only opening to about three millimeters for to use their armored bodies to defend against such voracious attacks.

mix sand and coconut bedding to get a nice texture and retain moisture. you can put in one of the little igloos for small pets or a coconut house, some driftwood, make sure you have extra shells and a food and water dish and you can have what i think is really neat, is these little mesh bridges that they climb and hang on

A water dish with a cool sponge in it is really awesome. You can get a beach background and maybe you could paint some hermit crab shells. (Plastic) plants or flowers would make it look pretty! The mesh bridges are really cool. And you can put like a big rock in there that they could climb on. As long as its safe for your crab you can put whatever in the tank :)

Yes. The shells of crustaceans and mollusks contain calcium, an important mineral in the general diet of all birds including chickens.

No, it is not dead. Hermit crabs can grow back their "arms" over time, though claws missing can be harder to live without. Just make sure you give lots of new shells so they can molt (which is when the arm is grown back). Don't worry-this happened to my herm!

Most crabs can be eaten, however since fiddler crabs don't have a lot of meat (even in their big claw), going through the trouble of catching and eating a bunch of crabs would be exhausting. However, DO NOT eat them raw since they may contain harmful bacteria that could make you really sick.

A hermit crab is very vulnerable without the snail shell, so you can expect it to get eaten, (or dry up for land hermit crabs), or injured before too long.

Some species of hermit crabs actually don't use snail shells at all, however.

Yes. Hermit crabs love to be social and in the wild, they go together as groups. You should get atleast 2 hermit crabs, because they will get stressed.

not very long; they are very social creatures and love the companion of another hermit crab. so if you don't have 2 or more already, then you should go get another one or two.

No. No species of crab is a vertebrate. Vertebrates have a vertebral column (backbone) that is part of an internal skeleton. Crabs are crustaceans, and their skeleton covers the outside of their body, like plate armor - they have no backbone.

Crabs don't bite they pinch. It all depends on what kind. Bigger sea crabs can 'pinch very hard, some can even take a finger or draw blood. Small, hermit crabs can pinch little pieces of skin off then they eat it! :P They can also draw a little blood.

The frequency of a hermit crab's molt relies on two main factors: size and environment.

Smaller crabs will molt very frequently and for shorter periods of time where a larger crab may only molt twice a year but stay down for months when it does.

If conditions (in the wild or captivity) are not ideal for a molt (this includes the availability of upgrade shells) the crab will actually secrete a hormone that puts the molt off for a while. If it goes too long without molting, it will be forced to molt wherever it is (very dangerous) or die.
