Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The Characteristics of Hermit Crabs that are Distinct in Them

Hermit crabs are not a common pet because they
are mostly seen in the wildlife all over the
world. The thrill of having this as a pet is
something that creates individuality because you
know you are making a difference by having a pet
that is considered rare. Like humans, animals
have their own identity that makes them.
Attributes gives us clues on what type of animal
they are and knowing their behavior will help you
get to know them better. Getting to know them
will give way on how to deal with them smoothly.
If you will try to observe hermits, you will find
these characteristics that are distinct in them:

- Nocturnal - hermit crabs are most active during
the night and they truly love the dark. This is
the main reason why you almost see them just
resting during the day. They look weak when you
see them but they are just relaxing and not in
the mood for any activity. If you let them get
out from their cage or terrarium, you will notice
them hid under your couch, sofa, table or
anything that is dark. Even if its daylight, they
still want to be in a shadowy place to where they
feel the presence of night. They can be a good
companion for owl and a perfect pet for insomniac
people.

- Chirping - you will be amused to know that
hermits do create sound. They are not mute like
most people are thinking about crabs and not only
birds do chirp but this ability is also one of
the characteristic of hermit crabs. You u will
only hear this occasionally because this is just
their expression when they are stressed. They
tend to chirp when they are having fight with a
fellow hermit crab, experiencing pain or
irritation over something. It is similar to
crying in humans. So when you hear your pet
hermit chirping, it may mean that it's crying and
immediately look for the cause of it to calm your
pet.

- Aggressive - you will notice this aggression
from hermit crabs when they are on a fight. This
character is prevalent in them that is being
triggered when a shell is shown and being
interested by hermits. Their tendency is to run
and insist on the ownership of the shell. They
will fight and intentionally kill the other
opponent just to get the shell which is the most
prized possession for a hermit crab. This
greediness is easily spotted in a hermit crab.

- Crawl over each other - hermit crabs also has
their friendly side on them. When they see their
fellow hermit crabs, they will crawl on the top
of each other. They are being playful when they
are in groups. It could be interpreted as a form
of camaraderie in hermits. It is their way of
letting their fellow crabs knows their presence.
Sometimes they will push other hermit crabs. This
character can also be seen in humans. This is
really true in men. They do this when they see
their friends and they are joking with them.
