Question

My hermit crab is molting and he had a thing so he could breath but I accedentialy caused a cave-in do I did him up or what!? Hes only been down their for two days! What do I do?

Answer 1

No!! Dont do anything.. leave it.. it's the best thing you can do.. Anything now will just make the situation worse. Do not touch him because as you know molting is the most sensitive thing and the slightest touch could hinder the process and possibly kill it.. If you know your hermit crab is infact molting the best thing you can do now is make sure your temperature, humidity levels etc. are correct and im sure it should be fine. They crawl out of their shell and go under the sand when molting. Wait afew weeks, you will find that he probably will come back shiny and new
