1 hermit still up, another crab?

Post by hermie2013 » Wed Nov 04, 2015 6:51 pm

angel is the only hermit crab stil up. Last time i checked, bobby was half buried. Will angel get lonely? I dont want my little baby to feel depressed. I have 5 hermies in a 25 gallon but all are pretty small. If none of themm come up in the next week or so, should i consider getting another friend?

Don't worry: Angel will be fine until the others resurface. In fact, he'll probably enjoy the lack of a crowd at the pools or the food bowls! For several weeks about a month ago, Charles Paris was the only crab up in my 29g and really seemed to enjoy all the space, not having to back away from the food bowl when the bigger crabs were eating, etc.
