your hermit crabs are burrowing because they are about to molt. hermit crabs have exoskeletons so they have to molt or shed their exoskeleton to grow. so they dig underground to do that because hermies are vunrable they will stay underground to weeks to months NEVER dig them up. you know if they are dead if you smell rotting egg.
