New(ish) Crab and digging habits

[HermitCrabs8763]

I have a recently bought hermit crab. Her name is Bella. Bella digs down into the coconut fiber and doesn’t come up for a while. Is it because of stress or is she molting? She came up last night and went down again. She is also a pale tan.

This is the crab you said you got in early September, and have asked about this a few times now. In past threads, your temp and humidity have been low - what are they now? How deep is your substrate?

[HermitCrabs8763]

The temp is usually around 75-80, the humidity is 65-70 and the substrate is around 1-1.5 inches thick. I plan on making it deeper sometime this week.

You said you were adding sub back in October. If the substrate is too shallow, she won't be able to molt safely.
You temp is okay but your humidity is still too low.

Okay.
