That really sounds like Post Purchase Syndrome. Unfortunately all hermit crabs are collected from the wild, and along with making the adjustment into captivity they've also gone through abuses along the way from the beach to the store. Some just aren't strong enough to make it. We have an article explaining more about PPS here: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 67&t=92531
