Okay as i posted before on one of my previous disscussions I posted was about my new tank. So yesterday I got my new tank ready. I chose to use EE and play sand. I put all three of my crabs in. Hedron who is a male, ping pong ball size, fancy who is unknownd about the size of quarter, and babydoll who is female and small, nikel to quarter size. After a few minutes they were all exploring and having a good time. Last night before going to work(I work graveyards) Fancy was hidden, he/she had burried themself. Hedron was still out crawling around in the EE. and Babydoll was resting by the fresh water dish. This morning when I got home. I can see the top of babydoll's spotted shell in the EE, and the top of Hedrons chocolate brown shel in the sand. I checked the temp and my humidity guage, it was all optimum. Hedron is the most active, baby is shy but she comes out a lot and is always in the salt water(as of late), Fancy is really shy. It is very seldom that he is out. When he is its usually to ta. ke a dip or to eat, he's been chowing down lately. These are all the reasons why I think they may be molting, especially with the new bigger tank with deeper substrate. Should I be worried or leave them be and assume that they are molting?
