HERMIT CRAB ESCAPED!

My hermit crab somehow escaped its crabitat yesterday. I have searched the entire enclosure including inside the substrate and around all structures. No sign of my tiniest crab, Phoebe.

Hello everyone, I’m definitely not a hermit crab expert and would love to hear some suggestions on what I should do because I am genuinely concerned and not really finding the information I need anywhere on the internet. Before I was educated about hermit crab needs (such as friends) I bought 1 crab...
