Question
Today , I just cleaned my hermit crab "lulu" 's cage and before she was buried in the sand. Should I have left her their and cleaned the cage later?

                                from, HELP IM SCARED!!!

Answer
As long as Lulu was fine when you dug her up don't worry about it. It happens. I have 27 crabs and there is no way for me to clean without digging someone up, you just have to be careful and if you catch one in mid molt, then you need to isolate them until they are finished.
