Hermit crabs are nocturnal, so it sounds like your hermit must have gone to sleep. Mine has slept for a week, once!

Hermits usually molt on their 'birthday' but stay in their shells a while prior to molting.

It's best to have several in his habitat so he can choose what he likes best.

How big can a hermit crab get when you have them as a pet?

Any size maybe the biggest is two hands though! ;-) Get a bigger shell each time it molts and when it molts it is NOT dead unless it is stinky... But if it is half way out of its shell then it is molting and leave it alone when it is because it will lead to deadly things it you dissturb... But if it is a 2 inch. then it is molting for a week or 2 maybe 3 weeks. If it is bigger then maybe a month. Hermit crabs are easyer then Hamsters. Hope you like the advice! :-)
