I bought some upgrades for my crabitat. As i don't live full time at my gf's i sent the stuff with her to put in the tank. The one thing i forgot to tell her was to not add anything if a crab is buried. She went home and added the upgrades (which required some digging). Now i am worried that because there was a crab down she may have inadvertently collapsed a cave or something. What should i do?

Re: Worried
How deep is your substrate? Your crabs seem pretty small, so depending on how much the things weigh/how big they are, you might've collapsed a tunnel if they made one. Do you have a few pictures of the tank currently and the stuff you added?CrazyCrabman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 12:52 pmI bought some upgrades for my crabitat.

Should I dig him out? My substrate is about 4-6 inches deep. We added a corner pool which is basically on the bottom of the tank and a sizable cave hidey hole. Both areas were dug gently with fingers.Crabby7Crabber wrote: How deep is your substrate?

Re: Worried
Does your girlfriend remember hitting anything? If she dug and he was there, she'd probably hit his shell. I would suggest letting him be.CrazyCrabman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 2:47 pmShould I dig him out? My substrate is about 4-6 inches deep.
