New crab tunneling near another molter
New crab tunneling near another molter
My newest crab is tunneling and preparing to molt. Problem is he is tunneling very close to where I know Man-Bat tunneled and is currently molting. Man-Bat has been down almost a month so should be ready to come back up soon. My new crab (Lex Luthor) is smaller than Man-Bat but they are both very small. Do I intervene in any way or just let them work it out??
4 PPs. Crabbing since Sept. 2014. Batman - Found as a stray (holy crab!) (2 molts). Killer Croc (1 molt). Man-Bat (1 molt). Lex Luthor (1 molt).
RIP Robin (did not survive 1st molt).

I had the same problem too with my crabs Cookie and Choco.
I was very worried when Choco was digging where Cookie was molting..
When Cookie came up from her molt healthy and beautiful, I was the happiest person ever.
Now I am waiting for my Choco.

Chances are the first crab isn't exactly where he dug down. They usually tunnel around under the substrate before settling on a place to molt.

Thanks guys. I didn't intervene. Lex is completely buried this morning. Now I will nervously await their return! Haha. Fingers crossed for them both!
Hope Choco comes up beautiful and healthy too!! (Love your names BTW)
