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 up against the glass but hadn't for a week or so. Anyway, last night I was doing my normal routine of changing out the untouched food and topping of the water when I noticed one hanging out in the corner! It was the first guy who went down. I was home alone and felt silly for jumping around by myself lol! I now feel more hopeful for the others!

Congratulations! The first time is the hardest! They should all start popping up soon! Best moment in crabbing is that relief!

Re: First Molter!
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 conditions are good and kept reading posts on here about other people's worries to not feel alone in my own. I never thought I would get so attached/obsessed with these little creatures!KayedeeLove<3 wrote:Congratulations! The first time is the hardest! They should all start popping up soon!
