Isolation can be so lonely....
Here is Beans in his isolation tank. After molting hermit crabs are very soft and squishy and vulnerable to becoming a snack to fellow co-crab-itators. He will be left in isolation until he finishes eating his molted skin which hermit crabs do to regain nutrients after the tiring process.

hi i was wondering if u could help me. i dont have and ico tank! and i think the molt is coming up i only have 3 crabbies and not many shels is there any thig elts icould use? thax so much
p.s i love your web site!!!!!!!
Hi weemer! I've read on other websites ideas of what you can do! You can cut a plastic 1 gallon milk jug in half and clean it VERY good - using the piece with the pour hole in it - place it over your crab for protection. You will also want to give yourself enough room for food and water in there too! This should help and its only temporary!
How can you tell if your hermit crab is almost ready to molt.
ya how can you tell? cause joe is my brother and like none of our crabs have molted for lika yr! my hermie eve is a HUGE! shes bigger than beast master! i have had her for about 3 yrs now and she only changed shells once and has never molted....do i have need for concern?? ?:|
