Hanging out of shell PPS

Post by WacklieCacklie » Sun Aug 27, 2017 9:46 am

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!
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com

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.
