    Don't worry about the hermits they will right themselves when they feel safe.

    That is a real problem with snails.

    But keep in mind a hermit crab can hop out of its house if it has a real problem.

    what the above said, all my herts when they fall off of rocks will fall shell side down and sit there for a bit before they right themselves.
