Where would a hermit crab go?

Question

okay my 5 year old brother lost his hermit crab this morning while i was sleeping so the hermit crab could be anywhere in our house any suggestions?

Answer 1

Ah yes - this happened to my son too.  The hermit crabs hate to be out in the open - best bet is under the bed, couch or any other low piece of furniture.  It will probably be somewhere very near where it fell or was put down.  It shouldn't go too far in the daylight, but if night falls and you haven't found it yet- all bets are off - these nocturnal critters will travel at night!

Good luck.
