Hello there everyone, I am new to hermit crabs. Bought 2 from Sunway Pyramid and another one from Ikano. I was told that these are Indonesian Hermits. They all seem to be doing well. However, I've noticed some 'fighting'. I have named one Tyson, as he likes to throw punches at the other hermies.

They chirp at night, especially during these 'confrontations'.

Yesterday, dropped Mimi on the wood floor and her shell cracked. Now there is a hole in it. I was worried that should they get into fights, Tyson and Shrekky might puncture her abdomen, so, i have pasted a small piece of masking tape on the hole. Any ideas how to get her to change her shell? I am worried!

Thanks! She has already changed her shell biggrin.gif

Hi guys, one of my hermies, has become inactive overnight. Now, he is just lying on its side, limp. He has become darker than usual. Yesterday, he was still ok, walking about, climbing the log and drinking. Suddenly, this morning I noticed it was not moving anymore. At first, he was not limp. He still moved a little. Then, it went limp. His eyes are clear, body seems darker. Any advice on what is happening? Do you think its molting? from what I read, crabs have cloudy eyes and lighter coloured bodies when molting, but not this crab.

HELP!
