While we were setting up the tank, we put both hermit crabs in the original carrier. We got the new tank set up in about 24 hours, but in that time the new hermit crab buried himself and hasn’t come up for about two weeks, even to eat or drink at night. We think he might be molting because there wasn’t enough dirt for him to dig into at the pet store, so I don’t want to dig him up and risk harming him. But the humidity in his current cage is far too low and is now starting to drop to the 40s despite us trying to raise it (Covering the top, adding water, misting).
We do hear him moving around under the sand at night, so I’m wondering if he is just hiding due to stressful and dry conditions.
Please help! We really want the best for our crabbies and we do have an ideal tank set up so please be nice in the comments. We are doing our best and reading so much.
