No, you should not put food in the tank when a hermit crab is molting. During this time, hermit crabs are vulnerable and may not eat, as they focus on shedding their exoskeleton. It’s best to provide a quiet environment and only offer food once the molting process is complete and the crab has returned to its normal behavior.
