HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I found a piece of Exo from who I suspect to be my micro Shickitello(it was purple pincher exo, very small, so it has to be the smaller of my 2 PPs) However I didn't go digging or anything but couldn't find him in the tat, The area where I think he was has a tunnel system going, and he has been down fro about 3 weeks, so should be coming up soon. Could another crab have gotten some exo? or could shickitello have brought it up with him while getting food and leave it there? I don't think I should dig...any advice?

Btw, the exo was only a leg fragment not the whole exo.

If it was only a leg fragment, I would have to guess that it is just left-over exo from someone's molt. And NO digging, or we will have to slap your fingers!!!

Most likely just a bit of left over exo and your crab is probably just digging around. Keep us posted.

I second (... uh... third?? lol) the above. Keep us posted, Rhoney. I'm sure your little one will come up fine.

Yeah, I never dig at all, only unless like 3 or more people on here tell me to do so, I honestly value everyone on here's opinion I think hes jsut digging around and came up and happen to leave it, after all the hole he was in that is now almost liek a cave he moved deeper into so I assume this is another sucessful molt. THat's one thing I lvoe about PPs really easy molters. I doon't know why but my one PP is up ALL the time exept an hour or 2 here or there, but all my Es are digging under 20 hours of the day. Can a crab differ from the "norm" for their species? If I'm amking PPs active I think I must have good conditions for them to thrive, and no I'm not trying to boast

just thought I'd let everyone know that the molter is now beside the glass so I can see him (he moved ) yay

Excellent. Hopefully that can put your mind at ease. At least you can watch the little guy.

Good luck with the molt!

With these little devils your minds never at ease

True.
