I set up my crabitat towards the end of May. 3 of my 4 crabs went down right away for a molt and came back up about a month later (I posted pics in here. The 4th crab must have went down after the 2 came up cuz I haven’t seen him. But even one of my crabs that went down right away hasn’t come back up. The tank doesn’t smell bad. But I’m starting to worry. Suggestions?

Re: When would you dig?
If molting, they can stay under for a few months. At the 4 month mark maybe start being concerned. Never dig though unless there's a flood or bacterial bloom. Are your conditions good? Substrate, temp, humidity?

Re: When would you dig?
Everything is good and as it should be. I’ve had 2 successful molters who both switched shells when they came back up. Just worried about these other two. I’ll let them chill for a bit longer.
