If your hermit crab is on its back, ?maybe try to turn him over? I think he might be sick. What's the heat and percentage in humidity? What are you feeding him/her? That could definietly affect your hermit crab's health. I would reccomend asking someone at a pet store or something.
What type of land crabs are best to buy?
* It's best to buy a hermit crab with a natural shell rather than a painted one if possible. The paint from hermit crab shells often flakes off over time and can be eaten by the crab. The paint flakes can also find their way inside the shell and can irritate the crab's skin. Some crabs have even had paint flakes puncture their skin. * Before a hermit crab is brought home, all of the necessary hermit crab care items should also be bought if the pet owner doesn't already have them. These include several hermit crab shells of various sizes, a sponge for his water, hermit crab food and a large enough cage to house the crab and all of his supplies. == == anymore questions?? contact me at bubbliciousbridgette@yahoo.com
