Some Hermit Crabs Give No Sign That They Are Ready To Molt. But Others May Look Different And Act Strange. Here Are Some Of the Signs Of Molting You Might Notice In A Hermit Crab:

  • It's Eyes May Get Cloudy.
  • It May Eat And Drink More Than Usual And Grow A Sac Of Fat. Then, It May Stop Eating And Become Less Active
  • It May Dig A Lot.
If Your Hermit Crab Shows Several Of These Signs, Place It In A Warm, Humid Tank By Itself. Supply Food And Water Dishes 6 Inches (15 Centimeters) Of Such Bedding As Moist Sand. If Your Crab Is Molting Above Ground, Spray It Very Gently With Mist, Otherwise Leave It Alone.

After It Has Molted And Grown A New Exoskeleton, It Will Reemerge. Let Your Crab Eat It's Old Exoskeleton For The Nutrition It Provides.
