suddenly burrowing and not eating

Hi all! about 2-3 weeks ago I noticed my hermit crabs didn't eat anything from their food plate, but I shrugged it off. When I offered food again and checked on it the next day I noticed that they didn't eat any either. Then both of them started burrowing. Plum came up after three days and I gave him food again, but he didn't eat any and re-burrowed shortly after. Then a week later Kermit came up and I offered him food too, but he didn't eat and reburrowed the next day! Both of them reemerged later but didn't eat anything before going back down. They're down right now. I know they're not eating because they usually make a huge mess and leave food everywhere. they don't burrow often and they love their food...this behavior is really unlike them i'm kinda stressing. 
btw I feed them fresh fruits veggies and meat/bloodworms and I change the food every 1-2 days.
Thanks yall! -Alice
