My Hermit Crab is shellless I put the shells in front of him.He is trying to close up.What should I do??

It's benn about 30 mins. His eyes are closed.

He's probably molting, dont try and put him in a shell! Put him in a dark room with no other animals and if you have any other hermit crabs in the cage with him take them out, they could kill him while he's out of his shell. Give him a couple hours maybe a day before you touch him at all. Their very sensitive while they're doing this. Another thing it could be he could be dying sorry to say, just give him some time and see what happens.
um no dont put him in a shell..sorry but i think hes dying.
you have a hermit crab?? cool!
Well it can be one of two things.the hermit crab is molting and thats why it has left its shell or the hermit crab has reached the end of its little life. Usually when they molt they go under the ground but i have seen them molt on the suface.
