This form includes verbal or speech developmental apraxia, perhaps the most common form of the disorder. Constructional apraxia affects the person's ability to draw or copy simple diagrams or to construct simple figures. Oculomotor apraxia is a condition in which patients find it difficult to move their eyes.
Medium ones about the size of a golf ball may molt every four to six months and stay buried for about one to three months. The smaller hermit crabs may molt as often every month or even every few weeks for the tiniest ones, and may stay buried to do it for only a couple of weeks or months.
Hand Feeding. With a little practice, you can hand-feed your hermit crab. Take a piece of apple or grape and hold it in your left hand (if you're right handed). Using your right hand, coax the crab out of its shell and place the food near the crab, underneath its two pinchers.
