Surface Molter

He was peeking out of his shell. He molted about two weeks ago, and started moving and digging last night and ate a little bit of bread. Thank you for your help!

Hermit Crabs not eating

Thanks Crabber85 and jenok. It's been 2 weeks since he's eaten, and while the food hasn't been ripped or disturbed (and these guys are messy eaters), I started hearing him scratching along last night.

Hermit Crabs not eating

I don't know how long he could have been preparin...

Surface Molter

I took my two crabs out to run around and play with them on Sunday. When I put them back in, one almost immediately came out of his shell and into one of his favorite hiding places. The other, shyer one just sat in the spot I left him in. I thought nothing of it, since this is his normal behavior. H...
