Sounds like it maybe time to check for any signs of life. Not always does a hermie give off a dead rotted odor when they pass.... most times they do but not 100% of the time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have read in another one of your recent posts where you say you cannot seem to get through the molting, your hermies die. I do not have time to search, but have you copied and answered the questions here on HCP to see if maybe something is a midst?
