Hi
My UTH was accidentally turned off for maybe 24hrs
We are in 10-14 degrees at night here in Austraila...
Will crabs be okay? Hoodini Henry crab has been buried for maybe 6 days now..,
If he started a moult will he be affected by the fact UTH was not on...?
I have since put gaff tape over power point switch so my 3yr old can't go into his sisters room turn it off...

If its for a short period of time, it should be ok. Remember even if the air gets cold, if you have the proper substrate the sand should be nice and warm. Sand is a great insulator, so the crabs should be fine.
If your 3 yr old understands, maybe explain to him the importance of not touching the switch? I understand that many might not get the point, but its worth the try right?
