Has not molted in 4.25 months

Post by HermitGuy3 » Sun Dec 01, 2024 2:44 pm

Hello! So, my hermit crab has not molted in about 4.25 months. I think he is a medium crab? When I first got him I think he had those black toenails on his legs, so I think he must have molted recently. Should I be worried? I think my other crab is under molting right now. Thank you! :) ( he has not molted in my care)
I love my two cool crabs Zote and Fizban.

They will molt when they are ready, there really isn't anything that you can do about it. Just keep your tank conditions good, feed a good diet, etc.
