I bought one the other day and acclimated him and then put him in the tank, but he hasn’t come out and it looks like his opening is pinched shut. Can he close it himself or did it get pinched shut on the journey home? And if it did get pinched shut on the way home, is there a way to open it back up so he can come out or will that do more harm than good.
