Hermit crabs only really change shells as the grow. After they molt their exo-skeleton off they grow bigger and then they change shells. Bigger the crab=bigger the shell. Although they can swap shells whenever they want, a hermit crabs life in the wild revolves around shell swapping and changing just for the hell of it
