Recording molts?
Recording molts?
Hello!
Do any of you have a good way to record molting of your crabs? An app would be awesome!
Thanks!

The crabbers that do track molts (a good idea, by the way) appear to do so the old-fashioned way, in a physical journal kept near the crabitat.

I was thinking about that, but I think I would suck at it, lol.

Not to thread jack, but I was curious as to how to track the molts if your crabs like to dig for fun?Crabinski wrote:The crabbers that do track molts (a good idea, by the way) appear to do so the old-fashioned way, in a physical journal kept near the crabitat.

Re: Recording molts?
You make when they go down. And when they come up, it's not exact. But after you have them for awhile you get an idea of their habits, and a better idea of how long a regular molt takes for that craband when to expect one, so it's easier to know.

Re: Recording molts?
I personally note it on my blog when they go down, and just keep a timeline in my head of how many weeks they've been down. As far as apps go, you could always stick it on your notepad or calendar

Re: Recording molts?
I track any upgrade/cleaning/addition of decorations and what type/ as well as when crabs begin excessive digging and the actual burial. Everything on my calendar . This way if anything bad happens hopefully I can pinpoint so i never do it again. Also after 3 weeks of misting a box of sand, my time telling abilities get wonky. I need an accurate date.
