Your hermit crab might want to moult and is weak. If your hermit crab smells like rotting fish then it usually means that the poor crab has died.
What are the temperatures of the tank and the humidity levels? What are you feeding them? What is your substrate?
Not trying to tempt you or anything, but have you tried tipping your crab sort of forward? Do it VERY slowly and VERY carefully and just see if he comes out a bit.

xXxEmilixXx if you look in the upper right corner of the first post in this thread you will note it was written: November 11th, 2006, 10:02 pm. In the second post the member posted, their hermie unfortunately had passed.

Emilli, that site was once a great site, but it's now a bit outdated.

Also, as a reminder to everyone, please don't reply to topics that have died years ago.

I agree with Wai on the site referred too as well. Last I remember the care information being updated was about 2002-maybe 2003?
