Digger or molting??
Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2015 2:49 am
Hello fellow hermit lovers! I have a recently rescued land hermit crab named Proco. Since I have had him he has been the most outgoing of the three I have. Always crawling around and investigating his home. I have had him only two weeks. For about four days he has been digging down deep enough to be completely covered. The first time I saw this I just covered him thinking it was a molt. But he came up the next night. He keeps digging every night now. I say night because I have a second shift job so I get to see the activity. They have a moon glow bulb that keeps my 40 gal tank at about 71degrees F. The humidity is around 75. My question is,does he just like to dig, is in distress or thinking of molting? He changed shells 5 days after coming home and his eyes are clear. I feel like I'm being the over protective mom but I just don't want him disturbed during a molt. Thank you for any help
