Oh NO! I just went back in there to get dressed for bed, and since my hermit crab home is on top of my dresser, I checked on the crabs. Jerzy, check. She's eating. Bob, check. He's in the hut thing. Tarzan (the new one), BAD check! He's also in the hut thing, but he's NAKED! Again!

I freaked out, went and washed my face, and came back in. He was still in the hut thing but he was in his shell, but he was hanging halfway out. Looks like a molt he wasn't prepared for. I quick ISO'd him, but I've never been able to catch a crab in time for iso before. I have NO CLUE what to put in there. I just have the hut, him, every possible shell he could ever want, and tons of sand. What else do I do????

It kind of looks like he's preparing for a molt, but then again, he could be sick... but I don't think so, unless it came on all of a sudden, because he's been playing ALL DAY.

Help!?
