Hermit crabs have adapted to live in shells, so they will die without a shell. This is because they cant revolutionize over night it taks millions of years.
As hermit crabs grow and increase in size they need to come out of their shell in order to find a larger shell to live in.
In captivity, they live 1-2 years.
Hermit crabs live in sea snail shells so the hermit crabs go in which ever shell they think will be comfy, like turbo shells. Also hermit crabs love shells with a pearl color inside.
Snails, crabs, turtles, armadillos, tortoises, and lobsters all live in or have a shell.
The hermit crab was given their names because they live in a shell, alone. But hermit crabs are the very sosial and you should buy at least 3 hermit crabs.
Any shell they can comfortably fit into.
If you try to remove their shells, you will kill them. They have a hook in their rear that allows them to hook onto the shell they are living in. If you try to remove their shell, you will most likely rip the hermit crab in half. They cannot live without a shell, and they won't easily give up their shell either.
