Question
Hi there, I have 2 questions. 1. If your crab is lost are there any signs to tell that he is still around? And 2. If your crab is lost how long does it usually take to find them? pease reply soon, I miss my crab terribly.

Answer
Look around areas with water, like the bathroom. Also litter boxes. It can be very hard to find a lost hermit crab. Try placing some aluminium foil on the floor with some tuna or peanut butter in the center, then you can hear when they walk on it and you can retrieve them.
