HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I hear one of my crabs digging around, but I never see him? He molted super recently so I'm worried. He seems to never come up for food or water? WHat's he doing down there?? Its been like 5 days with no sign of him, but I can hear him and he was very healthy last time I checked. Help?

He may be coming up at night to eat and drink. They eat such small amounts you wouldn't notice. You can smooth out the substrate carefully so you don't collapse any tunnels. If he comes out at night, you'll see his little foot prints.

Thank you! I'll try that.
