My hermit crab is already molting and he is in bad substrate for molting. What can I do?

Question

Won't he die if I move him?

Also i read somewhere that you are supposed to spray the substrate around you molting crab with hermit-safe water, is this true?? I'm really worried about my poor little(well not little he is actually quite large) hermit crab. Other molts have no gone well for me :( and I really really don't want Hermie (that's his name) to die.

So if there are any special things that I'm supposed to do please tell me!!!

Answer 1

Go to a pet store and ask them what is the proper way to keep a hermit crab that is molting.

Buy a book on hermit crabs while you're there.
