See that was my initial thought. that because they worried more about regenerating lost limbs they didnt grow.

however my bigger hermit crab also molted recently and didnt have any limbs she needed to grow back. she also appeared smaller. to me anyways.

Im wondering if i need to change something in their diet or add something to help promote growth. my third hermit crab recently molted too. she seemed fine and didnt look like she shrunk any. maybe its multiple things that might be a factor. like the idea you presented and maybe my other crab just had a bad molt.
