Question
I came home and went to check on my hermit crab and it didn't move. So my sister said to spray it because usually if I spray it it will come out. It smelt. So I sprayed it and the came out red?I think my crab is dead. Is it?

Answer
Hello, Well if it moved its not dead hermits moult there skins and are pink when there done simply put him in your hand mist the shell/opening and see if he moves if he does Great put him back in his home and leave him undisturbed for a few dyas until he's exo skelaten rehardens.
