Another Molting Hermit Crab Question

Post by HERMITCRABMOMMA » Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:02 pm

One of my other crabs molted on the surface so I immediately put it in the spare tank I have for molting crabs. He has eaten all of his exo skeleton and he just molted about a week an a half ago. I noticed that when he molted he currently only has 1 claw and 3 legs. When should I put him back in the main tank with the other crabs?


I love my babies and want the best for them but man do they stress me out sometimes! :lol:

Probably wait a week or two, till he's acting normal again.

Oh! I just noticed the part of the post where you can see how old a post is.
Oops!
Thanks for pointing that out to me!
