If the fall wasn't hard enough to kill your hermit crab just put another shell about the same size in the dish. Hermit crabs change shells as they grow, so you always need to have another shell just a little larger in with him. Good luck.

It really all depends on how you play with it. It will die if you do certain things to it such as playing russian roulette or if you try and take it out of its shell it will rather die than be taken out.
