I'm gonna try giving my meep more calcium. Maybe treat him like an e. Maybe that will help you too zoey?
Hah! That's cute :)

My strawberries never really gave me much trouble during their molts. They mostly need a lot of care topside. Things like heat and humidity, clean water, good food etc. All hermit crabs need all these but straws are not as forgiving as say a purple pincher.

Indo's have molted well for me too. I had an Indo female Ursula live with me for 5 years. I found her by accident in a pet store that carries pp's only. She was missing a leg and her lp.

I keep a detailed crab log that includes details on molts on each crab I own(ed).
