Hello. I'm new here. I had 3 hermit crabs in my life. All of them died too soon. My first one was so close to me. I named him Humphrey and I was devastated when he passed. My second one had no big claw when I bought him and he died after a month or so. My last one was a small one named Zoidberg (think Futurama ) I loved him so much. He was so cute. He died and was out of his shell when he did. All my crabs I ever had died quickly. I figured it was my fault. I took care of them but they always died during molting. I felt so guilty for it so I promised I would never buy a hermit crab again if they will just die because of me. They don't deserve to suffer. That was 3 years ago. How ever in school we had to write a paragraph about a topic. I chose hermit crabs and it lit an old spark for them. I remember I had a dream to start a small hermit crab selling business. I decided to get more hermit crabs! But this time I need to understand and know everything I can about molting this time so these ones will successfully molt. So tell me everything you can about it. Or any tips in general about hermit crabs
