No, they don`t hibernate! Actualy,hermit crabs stay in there shell when it`s to cold because they live in a warmer climate, Or when the crab is ready to change shells,they dig into the sand to get ready; it`s kind of like saying goodbye to there old home.They stay in sand for days to prepare. Then they will come up to get ready. It`s a good idea not to disturb them. When they come out certain hermet crabs (like small ones)might die just seconds after coming up! You can tell if they are dead when they start to stink or there color has faded or become brighter. If your crab has a color on it`s claw like purple,green,or any other color check if it`s color has faded to it`s skin color. By, internet send your messages to Wolfysmom01@Yahoo.com
