Do you need to keep your crab in the dark when hes stressed?
No, you need to make sure the hermit crab has enough food and water, the humidity and temp are where they need to be, has hiding places and climbing toys, and most importantly he has at least 2 other hermies with him. hermit crabs can die if they dont have any other hermies with them.
