food and behavior

Question
my one crab seems to not be eating much Are there any other food i can give them? Also my hermit crab still wont go into the three choices of shells. it just sits in the sam place. i just misted it and it sorta twitched. my other hermit crab just went in the other one old shell and look fine. is there any kind of other process they go through? do they just go into a new shell and use it? or is ther mor?

Here's a site that has a list for safe and unsafe foods

The inactive crab might be stressed or molting. I wouldn't suggest misting it, that could stress it out even more. You need 3-4 shells per crab, but I would suggest more. Get a variety of shells and sizes and let them choose.
