His big claw fell off!!!

Post by LilHurricane » Mon Aug 22, 2016 9:43 pm

I have everything up to code as I've read here. I have 3 PP's and one is changing shells and the other one is highly active. The last one was not moving. I moved him toward the heat side of the tank because he felt slightly cool to the touch. I set the tank up yesterday. Humidity is at 80% and temp is at 80 degrees. Do you think he's just stressed out? I hope he makes it.

I did notice that Mr. Lost Claw changed shells today and moved to the cooler side of the tank. Is this a good thing?

Okay, so Mr. Lost Claw has now lost a leg. I hope he makes it. I'm gonna leave the tank alone for a couple days and see what happens. I really had high hopes this morning when he changed his shell. Fewey!!

If you would fill out the emergency template I could help identify what is going on with the crab.

New crabs are always at risk for PPS and death due to poor conditions, so getting them into ideal setups is very important.
