Re: Molting again
He very well could be molting again. There are a lot of factors in how often and for how long, but it's usually based on their size (smaller crabs molt more often and for not as long) and if they are trying to repair injuries. For me, medium crabs will molt 3 to 5 times a year. It's the most boring part of crab keeping!

Re: Molting again
I have a medium crab that has been down since November 19. I don’t expect her to be back up any time soon. The last time she molted was back in May. Her molts had been lasting three to four weeks, they are now stretching to 6 weeks.

Re: Molting again
I have two small-medium crabs and Jarvis went down for a molt, came back up, wandered around for a month, and went down again exactly two months from the first time he went down. I'd say it's normal.
Two amazing PPs: Jarvis, who has been with me since 7/14/18, and NewCrab (still unnamed) since 1/11/21!

I'm still pretty new to this and I'm trying to learn all I can!
