I'm should probably post this in emergency but I thought I'd update you all here first. I got him some raw unfiltered honey last night and I have a dried cricket river shrimp and mealworm mix in there that the other guys went nuts over. I put him next to the honey and the next morning (just now) I got up and found him in roughly the same spot half out of his shell and he's not retracting like he has been when I approach. I'm hoping he's just surface molting, obviously I'm not touching him till I'm sure he's dead. I can do the pop bottle method of isolating him from the others. Is there anything else I should do? Should I wait to try the pop bottle?

Put the soda bottle over it and leave it be until you smell the death smell. I am going to remove your other post as this issue is already being addressed here.

I did end up covering him but sadly, he passed away. At least I know the other rescue is safe. Just waiting for him to resurface!

Thanks so much everyone for your help!
