hermit crab not moving

[HermitGuy3]

Yes, sorry I meant ones in petstores. I apologize for being unclear.

It would be cool if petstores got their crabs from breeders!

Hopefully one day.

he definitely is sick or something, i really don’t think he is moving around at night and going back to the same spot. i only see him outside of his shell infrequently and when he is his eyes are droopy and not moving and his antennas are tucked and not moving either, i actually though he was dead until he moves then i touched his shell. their substrate is a 70/30 mix of play sand and eco earth and their humidity stays in the highs 70s to high 80s

Have you looked at the basic care sheet?

[JoeHermits]

Sounds to me like you got one who wasn’t in good shape to begin with. It happens, unfortunately

he [my crab] has sat in the hiding spot he moved to in the first day.

Are you sure he doesn't move around at night? I have a crab that is very active at night, but always goes back to the exact same spot during the day.
