Kermit the hermit molted
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I just want to share:
My hermit crab molted last holy week. Being the inexperienced and uneducated tank owner that I am, I thought it had died and immediately took out the legs from the tank.
And because it was holy week, I again thought that my Kermit resurrected from the dead when it showed up happy and hungry.
Later research told me that this is in fact called molting.

Lesson learned:
Hermit crabs eat the expelled legs for protein supplement during molting recovery.
I gave him a piece of shrimp as peace offering
