LOL I was holding my friends hermit crab, but she doesnt have like any other pets, and i dropped it. I was like Ohmygwad. but then i laughed. Stupid crab XD
That's really impressive. I've had my hermit crabs for a year now, and they love me and i love them, but they will probably never do that! How long have you had your hermit crabs? :-)
@lexiducky105 when the hermit crab looks kinda big for its shell it thats most likely when its goin to change thats what happened to mine. if the crab trust u it will do anything
lulz my crab loves me lol hes always in his shell when im not around and when i get home from school and sit by my computer he comes out of his shell crawls to the cage side and stares at me so i can pick him up
Wow! How do you entice them to change shells? Sherbert and Buddy are in painted shells. I have loads of natural ones for them to change into, but they won't! The only hermie that changes shells at all is Lou-Lou! Cute hermie btw!
I've had four crabs for a while and I try very hard to provide them with the best care possible. The problem is, they hide when they see me. How do you get hermit crabs to trust you?
you have to make sure its in a good crabitat, love it and hold it gently everyday, and dont come up to it fast with ur hand or speak loudly. Go gently, slow, and quietly, talk to it, and just take good care of the little creature ^^
Wow! thats awsome! I wish my hermit crabs whould do that for me! one time, Leanz (the second to the youngest of my hermies) was walking around the cage with no shell on for 1 hour and i thought he was ganna die so I scooped himm up with a clam shell and picked a nice shell for him and he changed into it in my lap.
Woah! My hermit crab is changing right now, in my room. But the problem is, this has never happened before and he is aking a very long time. I don't know if he is regenerating or what, but we are kind of nervous. Does anybody have any pointers for me?
Beautiful! How did you know it was going to do that? I've only had one crab who would "change" in front of me, but I would never imagine them doing in the palm of my hand!
its nice that it trusts u but u should let them have privacy when changing

My crab changed four times in one night in my hand. It was annoying. Its cute, but I don't like it. I'm afraid I'll hurt their delicate behind.

Cute, I must say that the abdomen of the hermit crab looks pretty gross though. I expected something cute and curly, not that monster XD
That must of been so facinating to have a hermie do that in your hand right in front of you. You're a lucky owner!

For the record, hermies will change their shells for many reasons, sometimes even just for fun. It has nothing to do with molting.
