Yes they do so dont be worried if one day a leg or something is on the sand. Sometimes you can see a little clear limb growing if u look really hard. But dont throw it away! I think hell eat it.

Yes, they can. if your hermit crab has lost a leg or claw every time it molts it will grow a little bit of the claw or leg. Until the claw or leg is at the normal size. this is a very long process.

I dont know how but they can because they can regrow their shell and all that's inside of their shell is m mushy mussel and fat, so there are no bones that brake.

Yes, with each molt their injuries can get better and they can regenerate legs or claws.

Is your hermit crab a boy or a girl?

You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)
