My hermit crab is NAKED!!!! please help sooN!!!

[Mr.Crab]

he just got naked from his shell.. I need help. he is alive but I don't know how to get him back into his shell! someone please help!!!!

[Mr.Crab]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT: I made a saltwater bowl of water and transfered the naked crab along with some shells. He didnt switch in there, I thought he was dead, but everytime i looked away he would move around. I eventually put him back in my tank carefully ( he was still naked ) And he finally switched. he is now destressing (ALIVE THANKFULLY!) in his home.
please post instructions if this happens again and what to do.

There is a separate forum devoted to naked crabs - see the viewforum.php?f=62 section. This has happened quite a bit on the forum and there have been instructions posted many times.

When in doubt, search for terms with the search function, such as "naked" or "streaking" - this will bring up every post in the entire forum to get information from.

Sorry to respond like this, but this has been getting rampant in the forum. Look for other posts about your topic before posting. The Chirp and Chat section is for chatting general stuff about crabs or for questions that don't fit elsewhere.

I'm glad to hear that your hermit crab is back in its shell.

However, please try to post your question in a more appropriate forum. I have noticed a lot of people who just dump all their posts into the Chirp & Chat.

Sorry Wai. I hate having for you to say it again.

anyways, he died today. I woke up and he was out of his shell again behind the cocohut o well
