Lethargic Signs?

When a hermit crab gets ready to moult it becomes lethargic. Is it able to move a little or is it paralyzed completely when this happens?

lethargy is just one of many other symptoms of pre-molt. none of mine have become lethargic. i've had 3.5 successful molts (Lemi is under for his 2nd). if you noticed that one of your crabs has become lethargic but he's not showing any other symptoms of premolt like excessive eating, drinking, or digging, he could be sick...but keep your eye on him, anticipation of a molt is exciting! good luck!
