Answer 1

Make sure your temp and humidity are high enough. The sand should be twice as deep as your largest crab so they can burrow deep enough come molting time.

Answer 2

I used to have a hermit crab and he moulted once a year...some do it more often, it just depends on the crab, I wouldn't worry about it.  And they know when to change shells, just make sure to have a new one ready for them and they'll do it on their own, when the time is right.

Answer 3

Different hermit crabs molt differently. Smaller hermit crabs more often than larger crabs. Hermit crabs can molt anywhere from every month or once a year depending on size.

Answer 4

hermit crabs molt in different times every time. they should mold soon.
