Happy molting season, 12 successful molts!

Post by Guest » Thu May 08, 2008 10:37 pm

This is the first season I've had a true mass molt. In January the tank was very active, in February everyone was digging, by March I had a ghost tank. Mid-April they one by one started coming up! 12 Successful molts, of those 7 of them were their 2nd molt with me. The other 4 were the tiny PP's in 10 gal tank. The tanks are very active again and I am so pleased to see them doing well. I wish you all as much luck with your crabby friends as I have been fortunate enough to have this spring!

Thanks everyone! We currently have 15 crabs in 2 tanks, a 55 gal. and a 10 gal. We had 7 going into this mass molt, and when the tank appeared empty my addiction kicked in. We got 5 tiny PPs, all of which promptly went down for a molt, 1 didn't make it, so those are the 4 tiny ones in my 10 gal. tank. I also got 3 new medium PPs, 2 of which are down molting now. If they make it we will have 14 out of 16 successfully molt in one season with one left to go. That makes me one happy crab mom!
