What substrate do you have?

They don't always bury immediately.

If you'rw using playsand and cocofiber and it's moist enough to hold its shape, he'll dig when he is ready!

I personally pat it down. It will settle on its own over time and then you may end up needing more.

HE STARTED digging but it's not tunnels it's in the corner ... just digging up sand ... it seems
If he digs tunnels in the corner doesnt seem it will work right
Happy!

Honestly, it is so boring having 3 crabs down. My E should come up any day by now.
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
Crabbing for 4 years!
