When can I let my freshly molted crab out of isolation?

[OopsieDaisies008]

Hi. I have a hermit crab that surface molted 6 days ago on 11/20. I isolated him (within the tank) so his 2 roommates wouldn’t eat him, but I’m leaving tomorrow for Thanksgiving and will be gone for 4 days. Can I let him back into the main tank now? Or should I keep him in isolation until I get back? He is in an enclosure with the entryway blocked. He has a little water dish (I only had room for one dish, so it’s only dechlorinated water), his exoskeleton, and a little bit of calcium (crushed shells & cuttlebone), green sand, and a protein mix just in case. He has been moving, and I’ve seen him eating and drinking in the past 2 days. Thanks.

I would probably err on the side of caution and leave him in iso. I'd let him back into Gen Pop when you are there to keep an eye on things.

Thanks, curlysis. Happy Thanksgiving!
