Just got a hermit crab yesterday He was very active when we got him and put him in his habitat Hasn't moved since then Is he sleeping or dead?
Its probably just adapting to its environment. You can check if its dead by gently picking up its shell. A dead crab will often fall out of its shell. If its alive let it be. If it buries its self, don't dig it up. Chances are its molting. Molting can take a long time for some crabs and if there disturbed during this process, it may lead to death.
