I am a new Hermit Crab owner, I currently have 2 named Climby and Sneaky.
Sneaky was always active and climbing every time, but now he is burrowed for at least 4 days. Climby tried waking him up and they had some sort
of leg fight before Climby gave up and let Sneaky rest again.
Should i be isolating Sneaky (the burrowed one) it seems like this is very like the symptoms of moulting?
I tried to cover Sneaky within the choco peat mulch bedding but he came out and went back to his usual spot
Please let me know if I should be isolating Sneaky as I want him to feel ready and comfortable
I purchased these hermit crabs from Petbarn and they have yellow bodies
Thank you

Four days is not long at all; I would not be concerned about moulting unless you have not seen the hermit crab for at least four weeks. Just leave them as they are.
