Oh gosh! Tonight, I checked on the crabs to see if they were all okay and they were but they were molting! Two of my PP's were molting and they look exactly alike so I can't tell which is which.

Anyways, I am leaving to Panama after school's out for a while. On the 10th of June I'm leaving and won't come back till July 30th! When I checked my crabs tonight one of my crabs seemed to have freshly molted maybe this past couple of days. My other crab molted and is almost finished eating his exo. When I'm gone to Panama, will the crabs be fine until I get back? My Dad is going to take care of them while I'm gone! Lately, I haven't had to feed my crabs because they are almost all destressing or molting! I don't want my Dad to go through too much trouble with the crabs!

Also, does anybody know what the best kind of heat lamp is to use for the crabbies? And, the best saltwater salinity and gravity for PP's? I bought this hydrometer, and the brand is something like "Coralife", I'm not sure if it is good to use or what! My crabs always pull off some kind off stunt when I'm not there to take care of them!
