No shell

[Dukester]

I have 4 hermit crabs for 2.5 yrs and a month ago 1 just left his shell, still no shell. I isolated him but still won't take a shell. He's eating and seems healthy, I checked temp and humidity all ok. Help please!!

Thanks for the help. I got a new turbo shell and followed the instructions u posted and he took the shell immediately. He is still with shell and doing good. Thank you very much!

No worries; glad it worked. Please keep a close eye on him for the next two weeks as crabs who abandon their shells once seem to have a higher risk of doing it again compared to crabs who have never abandoned their shells.

I am, thank you.
