Hermit crabs require privacy when elimating their wastes.
A secluded area equipped with proper facilities is a must, as is a buffer area for seclusion. This could be created by blocking off anarea with plastic plants , wood partitions. They, like us, prefer this privacy. It is also a fact that you can determine the sex of your crab by his or her bathroom habits. A male of course will lift a leg and you will notice the female squat.
