I think my hermie has moulted! This is my first time with hermit crabs so I just want to confirm that a moult is truly what I’m seeing here. I have put it back in their enclosure because I know they tend to eat them.

On second thought, this could just be some of the omnivore food mix I gave them.

That doesn't look like shed exoskeleton.

It could definitely be food
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
