That sounds good. As long as he keeps his shell on that means he is not getting a lot worse.

Yeah he was still shelled. I'll probably check every other day unless something major happens to avoid stressing him more than he already was. But I am optomistic. He was my first one and pulled through all my growing pains. I am sure he will pull through this too.
Hi, I have been crabbing about 7 now, and these guys have put up alot with my growing pains.

Thanks. He seemed to burry back down under the few inches in the container. Just the little tip top of the shell is barely poking out. So I feel better now. I still plan on leaving him there until he is up and moving around.

That’s great, you have handled this situation well. The next time you go to check on him try to put in a little more sub.
