    So I posted a topic like last week about how picky he was. Well I finally found things he actually liked. But now he hasn’t eaten in 4 days. I even flattened out the sand by his food bowl to see if he goes near it but he doesn’t . I do notice he goes in his salt water and its mostly gone every night but he doesn’t touch his freshwater . So why isn’t he eating. Is he gunna molt? Is he lonely? Did he get full from all the food he ate the last time he ate?

Please log in to reply.

    I’ve done research I know all about hermit crabs. He has organic soil he also has sand. The humidity and temperature is fine. I bought him a friend…but they sold it to me dead….so I haven’t got another yet. And yes he has a 10 gallon tank

    Have you heard of http://www.hermitcrabpatch.com ? Order some of the “organic soil” (worm droppings) and give ur hermies a bowl of that :) Is your crabitat humid enough? Warm enough? Do you only have one? The way you type makes it sound like you only have one! Despite their names. Hermit crabs are very social and in the wild travel in packs of up to 200! They can get depressed alone, and often wont eat if deppressed. Is ur tank 10gallons plus????

    Life summary : I love animals even more than people

  • jpatr1d

    I have always loved animals, no matter what shape,size, color, species they are. I started as a vegetarian a few years ago, but i only knew that i didn't want to eat animal. i stoped for a while when i lost my job and ate what i could. no excuse i know. but soon later to realized my mission in life and purpose. i am here to be the voice of those who do not speak human. i changed my outlook to this because i found a boxer mix dog laying under my porch. she had gotten hit by a car and was severely starved. everyone around me was like leave it alone, you don't know where it came from, but i didn't care i had to save her. i rushed her to the emergency vet clinic where they did immediate surgery on her. despite those peoples commentary i saved a dogs life and from that point on i knew that if people treated a dog that way i wonder how people treat non domestic animals. I researched and came across peta2 where i now am an animal activist and vegan. I continue to help and save animals that i find and plan on never changing my ways for any one.
