Re: Shell too small?

Re: Shell too small?
In the wild, crabs have shells wayyyyy too small for them, and they cope fine(usually). Their abdomens will just not grow if they are in a shell to small. It would grow if and when the crab changes to a new shell.

Re: Surface molt!
Woo, that is a weird place to choose for a surface molt. Things like this can happen sometimes, but if it were one of mine I would be seriously worried. Yes, they will sometimes choose to pull a fast one, but never in the open like that! It almost sounds like he put off molting so long he didn't ha...

Re: Loooong Molt; Time To Investigate?
Don't worry; that is more like an average time to molt. My crabs went down about that time, and they didn't come up yet. I hear them screeching on the glass against the tank, so I know they are alive. That is an average time to molt, at least with my crabs. They can take up to 8 months to molt! That...

Re: Surface molt!
If you can, you should get the exo out of the main tank and with the surface molter if I comprehended your statement correctly. They need to eat the exo for calcium to help harden their new exo. If you don't have it anymore, give them a substitute calcium source such as cuttlebone.[/quote His exo i...
