Cleaning cage and soil dug up moulting crabs! help

Post by Crabbypatty »

Soil was getting full of mold and I decided to give the whole tank a good scrubbing. To my surprise we now have two naked crabbies that I dug up! what do I do now? Tank is clean and I learned to prevent this issue in the future I should use salt water to mist with? How to do take care of my now unburried naked crabbies?

Try following these instructions. Avoid wetting or touching the hermit crabs with your bare hands.
