 Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
two of my hermit crabs are always hanging out around each other, and I’m worried that they might "get a kid." Is this possible? If so, I’m totally unprepared. Please help! Any help is appreciated.

I wouldn’t worry because i heard that hermit crabs can’t reproduce in captivity unless conditions are just right or you have to be a scientist

Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much about them reproducing. They can’t lay eggs in captivity. Can you see into their shell? Does one of them have branch-like extensions near their abdomen? Thats how you can tell if they are male or female. The female carries eggs on those extensions ( I don’t know what they’re called exactly). Males don’t have them. Hope this helps.
