Norman woke up and wanted to say Hello!

Post by MsWorld » Sat Jun 11, 2016 10:16 pm

I adopted 3 crabs from another crabber on here and literally 2 of the 3 had went down in the temporary 5 gallon filled with just coconut fiber, on the hour drive home. First one to wake up. The 3rd one went down as soon as I got him in my main 65 gallon. Anyways here's Norman…

uno is great! He's darkening up and looking so good...still not very active and I do t think he's eating but he is drinking...Geoffrey is still down...hope he's good...hope the drift wood isn't blocking him from coming up but it's only been since Memorial Day that he went down so I'm not worried yet :-)

That's great that Uno is getting hard and doing his post molt. Yea I wouldn't worry about Geoffrey just yet. Peanut was down for 8 weeks. And if this is his first molt with you he could be down for awhile. What Uno is doing above ground is what Geoffrey is doing under ground. It's hard not to worry but as long as your conditions are good and you're not smelling any rotten smells just leave him be. I know it's hard to do, believe me, I had my head in the tank a few times a day sniffing and talking to Peanut. He was my Uno, he had a missing leg and was in a chipped painted shell and kept in horrid conditions. But he's looking good now and in a new shell.
