Hermit crab stuck?

Hey guys! I made a post about this a few days ago, and you folks told me that my crab was probably destressing / molting. However, now that I've put in some careful observation, I'm getting worried. Here are the facts: -Been down for about 6-7 days -I hear scratching on the glass bottom every night,...

I recently got two hermit crabs, and I'd love to give them something to crawl around on before I get back to the pet store tomorrow. Anyone know if it's okay to use branches off of the trees in my backyard as a structure? I don't treat the trees with and pesticides or anything. I'm just thinking of ...
