Agree with above. Crabs dig down for a couple of inches, and then from there they tend to tunnel all over the place (and may end up on the opposite side of the tank to where they burried).

I'm no expert, but if it was me and I knew a crab was molted recently and thought that another crab was digging him up or too near, I'd move the digging crab. Filling out the emergency template is definitely worth your time, people will be asking those questions: how many crabs, what kind of sub, h...

I’m by No means an expert but if it was me, I wouldn’t let him dig on top of the other guy.....I’d be far too worried [emoji47] I would definitely be posting just like u have here and waiting anxiously by until someone answered me. If you are that worried, in my honest opinion, I wouldn’t take the ...

So my 2nd hermit went under... two week ago he has already shed its exoskeleton and began eating it. I looked at the tank and noticed my other crab dig himself right on top of my moting crab. What should I do? Is he going to kill him?

They can molt for months at a time I hear! Especially bigger crabbies! Best to leave them be to do their own thing!

I don’t even see a claw move when I shine light at the hole anymore. I’m really worried. Especially since it’s been really cold in my home lately
