Re: What is my hermit crab doing?

Alright thanks. He seemed normal when I placed him in alone. He was moving around and exploring. But now he's huddled. Thought maybe he wanted to molt or something. Was nervous since this is my first time having a hermit crab. Wanted these little guys to be happy

Re: What is my hermit crab doing?

I recently wanted to put my hermit crab for adoption on this site. But there were no adopters around me. So I decided to invest in these interesting creatures. I put him/her in a 33 gallon tank. Bought a pack of coco fiber and play sand and mixed them and wet it. Got a couple of dishes for food and ...
