Is it better to buy more than one hermit crab?
Hermit crabs as you might know are very social animals, in the wild they travel in "packs" with hundreds to them. They have very bad eyesight and use chirping noises to communicate with each other. When alone they might think that they are lost and become depressed. This can cause them to stop eating and die. Because hermit crabs are so cheap, you need at least 2-3 as I do.
Good Luck!
Yes they do. With larger hermit crabs it is a lower louder noise and with smaller ones it is a higher pitched quieter noise. Usually they do it when they are mad or agitated. Sometimes they just do it for no reason. We have no idea how they make the noise ( just as a bonus fact )

How many hermit crabs is good to have in a 10 gallon tank?
It depends upon the size of the hermit crab. You can fit 5-7 small crabs in a 10 gallon tank but only 1 or 2 large crabs. The more room you leave for your crabs the happier and healthier they will be.
be careful not to overcrowd your tank, cos the hermits can get stressed, and may leave their shell or crawl into a corner and sulk :) But probably two or three would be enough room

it depends on which kind of crab.
many crabs would eat herrings.
crabs, being widely an omnivorous scavenger, eat just about anything that falls to the sea floor. Some crabs are predators and hunt small fish, which would include herrings. Of course, there are some crabs which are herbivores, which would stay away from them.
I wouldn't suggest feeding pickled or preserved herring to pet crabs though, the chemicals used in the preservation would probably kill them.
Crabs are referred to in scientific literature as both walking and crawling. They are also described as creeping and are prone to scuttling in a sideways motion. Most crabs are however able to walk forward or backward as well as sideways.
Crabs mobility is affected by whether they are moving in water or on land. It has been observed that 2/3 of crabs walk with all legs on the ground but approximately 1/3 of crabs hold up there chelae or front legs while walking.

If you see one on dry sand, wet sand it is going on, and then carefully, quickly, and gently scoop it up, and some sand around it. Drop it, and it won't ever let anyone pick him up again! He will rebury himself in the sand running backwards.Good luck!
