Don't worry! He's eating his exoskeleton! It's the old hard layer that they shed when they molt. It's full of nutrients to help them regrow their "skin".

He went from the size of a quarter to about a penny or dime! I'm sure he'll be fine if he's iso'd! Best of...

I adopted a hermit crab with my current one that was in a bright orange shell, he later died but! I just got a new hermit crab in the same exact shell and he ran right over to him and seemed to love him! The now sleep together, eat together, and do everything together!

Definitely! She still needs to drink!

I'm thinking she could have finished eating her exo and may be waiting to harden
