For those of you who have used canned proteins (mealworms, river shrimp, crickets, etc), how long is it good for in the fridge once it's been opened? The Fluker's brand river shrimp are a definite favorite for my crabs, but given how little they eat, it'll be ages before they finish the container, a...

Pretty sure it's Heart, based on the eyes (I have 1 PP and 1 E down right now), but I can't see the pincher and the angle...

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Mix of EE and playsand (blanking on the ratio right now, but it was the ratio I found recommended here on the forums), a bit over 6" deep. Was planning to add more when almost all of my crabs went down to molt, so I've been waiting f...

I've tried the canned crickets and canned river shrimp without much success. Not quite ready to give up yet (since their tastes always seem to be changing), but definitely not a big hit with my crew so far.

Just a quick update to say he seems to be doing just fine now! We had a brief scare yesterday when he decided to go naked (and cling to the side of one of their hides... it was like a crabby rendition of spiderman or something), but he's back to being properly shelled now and has even tried on quite...

Hairy legs, sharp black tips..he's done molting. So...a few things are a possibility: a) either you missed the fact that he didn't have a leg prior, and he needs more protein & calcium in his diet to regrow it. b) he lost it during the molt due to lack of something missing in diet (food pyramid: ht...

Just as we were finishing setting up our new 29gal tank about a month ago, Spider decided it was a perfect time to molt one last time in his old tank. So for the past month, the others have lived in the new spacious tank while Spider has been in the 10gal molting (aka we've had a glorified sandbox i...

Thanks all. That was my thought as well, but I saw a few posts on the forums about surviving despite a similar presentation (with white fuzz). Purchased our 29 gallon tank today, and getting an EctoTherm UTH for it as a priority. Hoping to be able to move them into their new home next weekend.

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Combination of eco-earth and sand, about 5.5" deep 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they usually read? Yes, on the top side of m...
