They probably eat when you're asleep. Hermit crabs don't eat a lot.

I have 3 hermies also. When I just had the two small ones, I couldn't ever tell if they even ate, except for the fact that they seemed to be doing very well. After the first two days when I put my bigger crab into the tank with them from the pet shop, I still couldn't tell if they were eating anything. Those first two days the big one ate EVERYTHING. Poor guy must have been really hungry, or really liked something in what I was giveing them. now he just eats a little bit again. Don't worry.
