A Bit Worried

Post by Persia352 » Wed Feb 17, 2016 12:39 pm

As most of you know my Hermit crabs all went down at the same time for a mass molt right before Christmas. This is why i am worried. I hear shells against the tank for the past week. My concern is for the ones that are still molting! They are fed really good protein and all kinds of natural foods when they are up. I am just worried that whichever one is tunneling will disturb a molter and I do not want to dig or disturb them! How do you handle this situation? All my thanks Love T :(

They should be fine as long as you have correct substrate depth and are not overcrowding. What is your tank size, how many hermit crabs are housed in there, and what depth is the the substrate?
