I just bought three hermit crabs and while two seem to be doing well, one isn't. He's hanging half out of his shell and I'm not sure what I should do. When I first put him in he was partially out, but now he's almost fully out.
Is there anything that I can do for him?

Provide raw organic honey, bee pollen, royal jelly. All are great sources of energy as well as immunity boosters
Make sure heat/humidity are 80/80 minimum. Then be as hands off as possible to allow him to acclimate to his environment.
Good luck!

He died a few hours ago but thank you for the advice anyway. Hopefully the two others I bought along with this one won't have any problems.
