Is My Hermit Crab Dead?

Question
My crab hasn't moved in about three days and kind of smells. Now my house is starting to smell. Is he dead? If so, What do I do with him? Thank You!!!!

Answer
Hi,
thank you for your question.
It does sound like your crab is dead. Smell is the only sure sign, they start to smell strongly of rotting fish atfer a while. I always wait until an unmoving crab starts to smell because it's otherwise nearly impossible to tell if a crab is really dead.
I'm sorry about your crab :(
