I have one crab that could chang eup to 3 times a day. he goes to one that is entirely to small to one that fits him great to one that is WAY WAY to big for him. You just never know. There might be sand or something in one thats bothering him.

Reason for that is I'm attempting to adopt 12 more pp's. :) if the weather stays good she is going to ship them to me I am...

my cholla has molded and my cocuhut but it was because my humidity was really high and they was right up against the wall of the tank. I have took out the wood and hut and cleaned it and boiled it and keep it off the side of the tank and mine has done fine ever since

Yeah it was an i was sad when I poured it out on the ground so I could put new play sand in the tat, especially now that my bf brought our son in a turtle and i could have used it lol. oh and we just acquired a turtle

I do. >.> But I go home in four days and I had already bought a giant bag of play sand that's been there waiting for me. ^^ Besides, my 'tat is mostly EE, and of the sand that I do have, I'd say only 1/5 is calci-sand. Don't worry, it's getting switched out in a few days. c: ok I was just wondering...

When I first put my cholla in my tank I put in 4 pieces 3 of my 4 immediatly went in a separae piece and didn;t come out for days. Don't know how one of them fit but he did and they literally stayed for DAYS. now they are dug down but one still goes in the cholla and he is in a shell WAY to big for ...

Do you have calci sand in your tat? I only have one lil guy that will climb and he tears eveything up but he is hte smallest one. well right now I actually have 3 out of 4 that has been buried for bout 2 weeks but he ususally is a mess maker

Do most people use tank clips to hold their lids on? I have a screen lid that hinges in the middle. Do you think they can lift it? Awesome story! So glad he's OK! :) Yes i have heard of crabs getting out of tanks with those kind of lids. you could set a book or something on it so they couldn't lift...

That is awesome. I'm hoping my lil guys molt soon so that i know i am doing things right. Good Vibes Heading your way
