When I know someone is about to molty I add at least one of these (usually more) = Peanut Butter, A nut mix, Egg + Shells, Honey and a few others.
I got my first crab in the summer of 2011. I now have 11 crabs!
I have 7 PPs and 4 Es! They are in a 40b.
I also have a pacman frog(Dewey), 2 Cats (Cinder, and Sherlock), And as a family we have 3 dogs ( Daisy, Coco, and Gizmo!)

Scroll down to the part about food and the molting cycle for more details :)
You can also go to the protien, calcium and chitin part for ideas of what food has what in it :) The list is in alphabetical order
