Would that little one be to little in depth for him to dig and molt ?
Cause the length wise would be amazing for him or her ....
But wanna make sure about the depth to

So wanna ask
For a permanent living space, a tote seven inches tall is too small. By the time you finish filling it with substrate, you’ll have only an inch of space for crabs.

Hermit crabs need at least some space above their heads, not just for climbing but also so they feel less cramped.
