Is this a good sign?

Post by mossthewolf » Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:00 pm

I posted in the emergency thread about a dug-up molter already.

I moved the crab to an ISO tank and I've seen him nibbling his exoskeleton! Is this a good sign that he is likely to pull through?

It is a good sign. Continue to let him do his thing until he's finished his exo and climbing, eating, drinking like normal.
