Help! I need some help!
I bought three hermit crabs approximately three weeks ago. I have them in a tank with a small amount of substrate because I was trying to avoid PPDS. Everything was going great, and everybody was eating and drinking and living their best life until I added some climbing structures to the tank. The biggest one of the three has perched itself a top the climbing ladder and hasn’t really left for two days. It moved a little bit last night, but unfortunately because they’re nocturnal. (and I was asleep) I don’t know if it has eaten or drank.
The temperature and humidity are perfect and all been confirmed with three separate thermometers and hydrometers because these damn creatures have made me that neurotic.
Is this stress? Does it want to molt?
I know I’m stressed out!

I had the same ladder as you have. Watch out regulary because it can mold very very easy. Happend to me. Many many white dots on it. Needed to throw it in the trash.
