Hey all. Another day, another "would you look at that" moment.

My biggest hermit seems to be attached to my urchin, literally. For the past five days, when I come home from work, he is stuck to my urchin. I've carefully removed him four times. I'm honestly starting to wonder if he is purposely hitching a ride or if he just has really bad luck. It's funny to see, but I'm worried he will stay stuck and starve.

Is there anything I can do other than manually removing him nightly? Should I just leave him to it?

Thanks

I’m absolutely no expert, but if you’ve already removed him 4 times…maybe try leaving him and watching to see what happens?
