Hey everyone, the other one finally passed after weeks of us nursing her. I don't think there was anything else we could have done.
Now we've only got 2 left in our main tank. I cannot believe we lost 3 hermit crabs in 2 months when we've been doing everything so right. It's devastating.

The two left are always molting at different times and I feel like they are going to be lonely without sufficient companionship, but I cannot bring myself to adopt another right now. We are planning on moving again in 2-3 years and I just dread that day and having to dig up more molters who might suffer the same fate. Sigh :(
