My size small hermit crab, Hermes, has dug underground, buried himself, and I assume is molting. However, I have less than ideal soil (three parts creature soil to one part calci-sand) that is only about 2 inches deep so I'm worried he won't survive.
Should I move him out, though he has already began to molt?
How do I help the little dude?
I am working off a tight budget and more supplies are not available right now...

Re: Molting worries
Sorry for the late response, but if the crab has not been under for a week yet, I would dig them up because they likely did not yet start the molting process.

It's been a bit and I don't want to interrupt the process now. Thanks anyway.

How did it go?
I have had pets in the past, but my family can’t have any furry or feathered ones due to allergies. I usually try my best to help and currently trying to set up a crabitat. I also try to treat others with Love!❤️
