Questionmy little hermit crab died that i got a month ago I think it was due to not changing shells and growing to large for its old one.so i went to check on it this morning and i picked him up and he wouldn't greet me as usual.so i took him in the living room wiggled him a little and he fell right out of his shell.but my question is do i have to change the bedding because of this because i have a mother big hermit crab and i don't want him to die too!!!!

AnswerThey don't pass away from not changing shells, since it was only a month since you got the crab it could be stress that made it pass away.

Theres a few articles you can read on it.
As for the substrate, no you don't have to change it.
