I got 3 new hermies and getting worried as they haven’t touched the food or water (salt or fresh for a week now)
They were active at first, but gradually became more and more lethargic. They sit half burrowed in the substrate, in their hide all day and night
Temp and humidity on track, sub is 4/5” deep (biggest is about 1”), all eco earth sub
I know hard to tell as they’re nocturnal but water bowls are crystal clear. Assumed it was PPS but I’m worried they’re slowing dying of something unknown
How long no food and water (fresh or salt)

Re: How long no food and water (fresh or salt)
What are your temp and humidity? What do you use for dechlorinator and salt?
How long have you had them? You said you thought PPS, just wondering how long you've had them for. Do you have other crabs too?

Water is filtered bottled water (what i personally drink so no chlorine) salt is marine salt from the pet store
I’ve had them 2/3 weeks and no, no other crabs
Good news, noticed some movement today but only because one crab accidentally bumped something and needed to move. Be he went back into his hide straight away
