HCA: Hermit Crab Association

sorry, this might be a bad question, but does anyone know how to chirp like a hermit crab?

I don't, but from what I understand they do that as a warning when something is wrong.

They chirp when agitated or sometimes honestly just to chirp. I've heard my E's croaking and gone to check on them and they were just sitting on a log making noise. I've never heard any of my PP's chirp.

crazy ive never heard one utter a sound. i wish they would it would be interesting
to hear, but i have a feeling thats not going to happy. is it really loud? from what i heard
it sounds like a weird low end vibrating sound (from youtube) just wondering how i t would
sound in the next room.

I have several of them and they range from sounding like birds and crickets to needing deeper like a frogs croak.

interesting. i have 5 never heard one utter a peep.
I guess that means their happy because its supposed to be a sound
of aggression and frustration. so maybe thats agood thing.

Mine just be sitting next to each other chirping away. I ran to check on them the first few times but never saw anything happening so I just quit.
