Please do not try the cold pack and if you use water make sure it is tepid and has been dechlorinated. place your mouse cord (or the whole thing if just the cord doesn't reach) inside your crabitat. Once he's home again, he'll let go and go and hide. If that doesn't work, submerge him and the cord in dechlorinated water, after a few minutes he will let go and try to get out of the water, letting your cord go.

Hermit Crabs can be very stubborn and will wait for hours maybe even days. I am not sure what to do without causing damage. First of all unplug the mouse. Second try coaxing him to grab something else, you could try blowing on him and his claw, or putting a straw or toothpick inside his claw and getting him to release the mouse, then he will hopefully release that toothpick, and if not you can put him in some shallow water to bathe and that should get him off.

i just couldn't resist. i once sold hermit crabs for a living, and had to change them out of their ugly shells into pretty ones. Very carefully. They have one hell of a clamp on them. If i were you, i would wrap him up in a cold pack and hope he pulls his claw in to keep himself warm.
