Kind of a weird question??

This is where you discuss the conditions of your crabitat -- temperature, humidity, substrate, decorating, etc.

Kind of a weird question??

Post by Raidz97 » Sun Jun 11, 2017 8:44 pm

I just now finished remodeling the old 55 and found some UN eaten exoskelotens. I double and triple checked and no one is molting or was molting. So my question is should I or can I feed those old exos to my other crabs or is that unethical and nasty? I know cannibalism is normal but just checking. I am 100% those are left over uneaten exos from old molts.

I would toss them, but that's me. If they are large pinchers those usually don't get eaten.

Okay thanks. Seems good since there mostly filled with substrate. I was just curious

I always rinse off any leftover exo I find during deep clean and add it to their calcium dish. :D Always gets eaten right away.

id clean it and offer it as well. youd do the sae with a small hen or hen not laying. unless there is cause to think it was unclean or safe.
