Question
I was just wondering of all the reasons a hermit crab can die. A lot of websites say stressed. So i also want to know if there is a way you can prevent stress or if there is any sign that they are having stress.

Please, please answer. I really need to know.

Thank you

You can try to prevent it, but more then likely you can reduce the chance of how high the stress is.
