Question
i got my hermit crab a few weeks ago and its buryying itsself and wont eat i think its ready for a new shell i bought it one but he hasnt gone into it yt?

Answer
Sounds like he's ready to molt. Don't handle him or play with him. Just go into the tank to give him food and water. Molting is a very stressful time for them.
