What to do if a hermit crab pinch is you?

Hermit crabs don't bite, they pinch you with their two claws. They will only do this if they feel threatened or unbalanced. To hold a hermit crab so that it feels comfortable, you need to have a flat, steady hand. It's best to hold them while sitting down. Making sudden movements will also startle them and they may pinch, so move slowly or be still.

If a hermit crab latches onto your hand, don't panic. It does hurt, but keep a clear head. Set your hand down on the floor in in the tank and don't move it. The hermit crab will feel stable and let go. NEVER run your crab under water or try to pry him off. These things will only injure him and/or make him pinch harder.

What is a crabs reproduction?

For most crabs, mating season occurs during warmer weather, and if the crab makes its home in the ocean, the waters need to be a warm temperature as well. When this time arrives, male crabs must find a female crab that has matured sexually and attract her. They do this by performing an elaborate mating dance. Usually, the male crab will rise onto the tips of his legs and move from side to side in front of the female. At the same time he will wave his claws in the air to attract her. This dance is not only done to grab the female's attention, it is also the time when the male sends out pheromones from glands under his claws into the air. These chemicals sexually attract females and get them ready for the mating ritual. The male will continue to do this until he finds a female who is ready and willing to mate.
