Long Molt

Post by jordangarza » Tue Sep 08, 2020 12:23 pm

Hello! I have two hermit crabs, one a bit larger than the other. About a month ago, they began molting at the same time. The smaller one has since completed his molt, but the larger one is still buried. I know larger crabs can take longer to molt, but is there a concern that he's taken about a week and a half longer?

No, that’s really not out of the ordinary. I’d wait it out another few months before you start to worry.
