First molt with my new crew

Post by witchboi » Tue Dec 01, 2015 12:04 pm

I'm super happy my crab Purl had a successful molt. She buried the day I brought her home a little over 2 weeks ago. Then last night she came up I'm very glad that she felt good enough to molt with me right away.

That's fast! Could be just two weeks of destressing underground...? Did you see exo or little sharp black toenails? I've had new crabs dig down for a few weeks but not molt. Then they emerge to eat and drink like crazy and THEN molt. Either way, glad your little one is up and healthy!
