Land hermit crab spends time out of his shell?
We believe our land hermit crab, Purple Haze, is an Ecuadorian. He seems to be spending a lot of time outside of his shell. We first thought he wanted to change shells but that was not the case because he went back into his old shell. He still spends most of the time out of it though. We washed his shell in hot water, like I read on this site said to do. Sometimes he sits in the water dish. This dish is freshwater but we also have a smaller dish of saltwater, which doesn’t really seem to do anything for him. We tried to give him a bath when he was in the shell, but of course, then he wouldn’t come out. We have 2 other Strawberry crabs and one Caribbean and they seem to be doing perfectly fine. I can’t seem to find any reason as to why he would be coming out of his shell except that he’s not moist enough, but he sits in the water and we spray them as much as we can. Can you help us? Thanks so much!
