DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM & ANY OTHER INFO YOU THINK APPLIES- I have 2 crabs... a small male named Hermie and a Large one female named Spartacus (planning on renaming her). Hermie When under for about a week now (probably molting) and Spartacus seems to be doing less than the usual... she seems to hug the spot on the wall where the 4 watt matt is... and doesn't do anything else... I'm awake most of the night (til 5am in the morning) and she does nothing... this has been going on for a week now... I see no food eaten (she is actually a little piggy :3) Hermit crabs are incapable of telling us what the problem is... so any suggestions?
