4 inches

[Pumpkincrab]

I think its up to you. If you want to add more sub go ahead but be careful. Meaning every 24 hours only add an inch and don't pack it down.

I don’t have to add anymore though do I. Is 4 inches enough

[Pumpkincrab]

4 inches is enough then for now but as he grows you'll need to add more.

Okay sounds good! So now I guess I just wait for him to return to the surface!! Also it’ll probably be 2 weeks before I can get in new shells and new food from Etsy. Is that okay?? I don’t know what to do in the mean time about shells

[Pumpkincrab]

It should be okay, on Etsy some shops offer quicker shipping but it does cost more.
On my shop I try to ship same day, TinyTownCrabs also ships relatively quick too, but I'm sure he'll be fine until then but try to be as quick as you can.

[Lanaisaacs]

Okay thank you!! Also when do I get worried about him not coming to the surface or how would I know if he ended up passing?? I just don’t want to stress about him if he is okay under there lol.

[Pumpkincrab]

Honestly, we all stress a little bit while they're under. I'd start to get worried around 4 months.

[Lanaisaacs]

Ok! Thank you so much!!!

While I am waiting to order Etsy food, what can I put out for food now instead of the pellet/crushed food?? Or should I wait to put food out while he is down in the sub.

Organic fruit might be good for now. But it's not a full diet.

[Lanaisaacs]

Well I don’t have anything organic here at my house I have banana. Apple. Walnuts. Eggs. Oranges. Potatos. Pecans. Peanut butter. Things just normal stuff. What should I put out or should I wait until he comes back up.

[Pumpkincrab]

You can put some peanut butter out..put it out and if you see it disturbed in the next few days you'll know he's coming up.
If it doesn't look disturbed then you might as well put out drier foods like nuts or just wait until you see him up.
