If limbs or claws start to fall off, and if itdigs underground (not to molt or you dont have enough hiding places) To fix this you must not have the right crabitiat, meaning not the right temp or humidity, not enough food and water, extra shells, hiding places, climbing places, enough space (1 gallon per hermit crab) ect.
Your hermies are communicating.

hemit crabs are lazy and fat
You should feed your hermit crab everyday and give it lettuce and fruits as well as pellet food.
yes, but make sure the plants are washed well and don't feed them citrus
You Can buy special hermit crab food at UR local pet store, But you can also give them fresh fruits and veggies for treats. Only give them as much as they can consume in a 24 hour period.
It is considered a limb, not an arm. And the loss of a limb does not necessarily mean the hermie crab has died, but is a hermit crab that is very stressed. One needs to double check their tank perimeters to make sure they are correct.

yes, and that either means it is too small or is stressed out and crawled out of shell or broke it, it is highly dangerous for the hermit crab and will die of depression or their stress levels
Hermit crabs get stressed when they get taken from the wild, taken from the pet store, and when they are handled too much.
most pet stores sell them next to either fish or reptiles.
The best thing to do is leave it alone. Just make sure its habitat is in the right conditions and it will eventually begin moving around more.
