HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hermie update: he's alive!! I left him alone for 3 days... When I went to uncover the container I jumped back and started to cry... I thought he had come out of his shell to die. I sat there and stared for a couple of minutes. Regained my composure and looked back inside. He is alive and there are tiny movements. Seems that he destroyed his iso lol. But there are limbs on the ground... Idk if he dropped them or he molted? Is it safe to inch him over so I can tell? Please help.

I will try to post the link to the original feed about him

And now he has this weird bump on his shoulder

To me that looks like a place where a leg was taken off. I really do think he's dropping limbs, not molting/molted. I'm sorry you have to go through this *hugs* I would leave him in the dark, unless adding water or food. Hope for a molt and that he pulls through.
