[4x4bre]

Ok so my sister got me a hermit crab for.christmas. not knowing anything about them she just picked the most active one. She was trying. I have a few questions. Hes about a quater of the size of my other 2 will they pick on him? Hes like.the size or a marble and the other 2 are close to the size of a golf ball. Also I think he is an e and my other 2 are pps will they get along? When I fisrt put him in there one of my big guys was on top.of him. :-\ I have a ten gal.tank with sand and coco fiber. My humidity is at 75 my temp is at about 83. I feed a variety of food just depends on the night.

I'd pull him out. You could put him in a plastic "Tupperware" like container or critter keeper with most of the lid covered in plastic wrap with some moist sand or coco fiber. I would also post under emergencies so someone with more experience can respond quickly.

He might need to go into a "time-out" bin.
I made a simple one using a tupperware (with a couple small holes poked in the top) with cocofiber and a small water and food bowl. I put it somewhere quiet and warm for a bit.
I haven't had any problems with crabs of different sizes harassing each other to a point of worry, though.

He buried him self right next to my molter so im not sure and.I dont want to dig up my molter and stress him out as he has been down for close to a month.
