Shell-less crab came up from molting : (

I have 4 crabs, so I've isolated her (Pebbles) in a small container with water and 2 clean (boiled for 5 minutes) shells. I've attempted to coax her abdomen into her shell, but she keeps popping out . . . help!

Just leave her be for an hour or so. She should basically have no room to do anything but contemplate shells. How long has she been naked?
