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

Transferring to new crabitat

Post by Hermiesguardian » Sat Jan 20, 2018 5:55 pm

I'll be moving my crabbies over to the new crabitat. Question..since I won't be moving them all at once, do I need to dip the ones that are moved at a later time, like I would for a new crab?

You shouldn't have to, but watch to see how they react to any you have to move in later on. Mine would sometimes get weird about having their colleagues return after a few weeks apart.

I find that they tend to smell the same, but would encourage to do so anyway.

So far I have 3 transferred. I know 1 has been buried since early November. I hope he's doing well. So there's 1 more that is buried during the day but usually comes out during the night.
