Sorry for piggy backing on this post but my hermit crabs haven’t moved in a week and I’ve been keeping hermit crabs for years the substrate is deep and the conditions are perfect about 2 weeks ago the temp was at 70 for about a week but that’s all

topic has been moved into a new post! :)

The low temps may of caused the inactivity, while 70F will not kill a crab, prolonged exposure will lead to a decrease in activity as they are tropical animals. Is the temps up now? If so, what is it at?
