Goodbye, my first crab.

Post by Guest » Sat Jan 21, 2012 6:45 am

Starbuck died last night. I still can't figure out why--he molted successfully, was up and about the last few nights, and was eating. The humidity was good, and I didn't notice any kind of weird markings or bugs. The only thing I can think of is maybe it got too cold even with the heater in the tank, because it's been very chilly lately. I guess I'm just not experienced enough to know for sure.I'm not going to give up on crabs entirely, but I think I'll give it a few months before I try again. I will always worry that it was my fault.
