This all helps so much! He is doing good now. He is moving closer to the UTH on the side. I think he is eating his exo, its underneath him. He is turning more purple, and he can stand up, Everytime I check on him and pick him up, hes moving. I havnt got a glimpse of his face yet, just the tips of his legs and claws. I hope he will do great, he is just hardening now, He molted in the other tank, thats when I moved him.Wai wrote:1) Nothing, but you could have set up a barrier around him if he wasn't isolated.
2) Who knows? It could take weeks or even a month or two.
3) Who knows? After he has died, there isn't much you can do but bury him.
4) Yes.
5) That's for him to know. Hermit crabs often store fat and water in a moulting sack that they carry around with them at such a time.
6) Surely you would have read that a hermit crab needs to eat its own exoskeleton? Never mind.
7) Put up a barrier around him. I'm not sure whether moving moulters to an isolation unit is such a good idea.
