Re: Big Boy won't leave Bolt alone

Just thought I would give an update. Big Boy has been leaving Bolt alone for the most part now. I'm really relieved that it ended peacefully!

I pulled them apart when I left for work yesterday and they were back together when I got home. There's no aggression that I can tell but I have no idea what to do.

I don't know the sex of any of them... the thought crossed my mind though.

Re: Big Boy won't leave Bolt alone

Probably 2 dozen or so.... I just replaced some they never liked (gold inside?)... Big Boy switched into a white shell right after his molt but then switched back after a few days... I think it was a tad big for him... I ordered the same lot as the one he is currently in to give him more choice but ...

Re: Big Boy won't leave Bolt alone

Is he rocking the shell back and forth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I haven't seen any rocking. Just always behind like this. Sometimes grabbing on to the edge of the other one's shell. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170606/c81b031bc472b3df798d1373f1b6877a.jpg Sent from my SM-J700T using...

Re: Big Boy won't leave Bolt alone

When was the last time the smaller one molted? If he just molted he might have that "vunerable" smell. I wouldn't worry too much unless they start trying to tear each other up. They all started coming up about 2 months ago... the most recent about 2 weeks ago but this isn't that one... the shell wo...

Big Boy won't leave Bolt alone

So my biggest crab has been "hugging" this one all day... I've separated them a few times but end up finding them like this again. Should I be worried?Image

Re: First Molter!

Congratulations! The first time is the hardest! They should all start popping up soon! Best moment in crabbing is that relief! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk It was definitely relief! I guess I never expected them to all go down at once. I just kept trying to reassure myself that their condi...

First Molter!

We adopted 6 crabs in December in a 55gal. You all have been such a big help btw! The first one went down right after Christmas and then over two months they all went down... for the last few weeks we've only had pet sand. I was starting to get pretty worried because we used to occasionally see them...
