Subject: is my hermit crab molting?

Question

Answer
Hello, your hermit crab sounds like he is just grooming himself. If there is powdered food on his legs, he could be trying to get that off.

Is that the only foods you offer him? Here's a website that is geared for hermit crabs and their diet.Feel free to visit the forum.
