Pre Molt Symptoms

Observed Premolt Symptoms


by Marie Davis


At times, crabbers become concerned due to certain actions their hermit crabs are beginning to display. Often, they are concerned that the hermit crab is ill, or has another form of complication happening that needs attention. Where, as on occasions, the symptoms they are observing may be due to a stressful situation, whether it be from their past or current living conditions, there are many times that the hermit crab is displaying premolt symptoms. If one knows that he/she has provided the hermit crab with the essentials it needs to thrive (proper humidity level, proper temperature, proper diet, bacteria/mold and a pest-free environment, etc.), what you are beginning to observe may very well be premolt symptoms that the hermit crab is displaying. With the numerous molts we have had, I would like to share some of the premolt symptoms I have observed with our hermit crabs and hope it can be of some help to ease other crabbers concerns.
