BaBa the little crab under sand

My 2 year old has one crab he loves the most BaBa. BaBa is our smallest so I am worried that he is molting and I’m scared he will not make it. I don’t smell anything bad but I haven’t seen him in a while now. He keeps asking about him the 2 week wait is going to kill me
Working on getting him to pick some of the many non-painted shells in the tank but he is under

Crabs can take several months to come up from a molt. I know the wait is difficult. But don't give in to the urge to dig him up to check on him. That can be very harmful.

I know I just hope he makes it through his first one with us

The wait is so hard! My rug went down beginning of February and I keep looking at the tank this past week thinking she should be up by now but knowing it will probably be a few more weeks. Gah!

Maybe you could try getting some smaller shells, those shells seem a bit big
