New Crab, need encouragment
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2016 10:53 am
Okay so. Two Ecuadorians. I only got them on Saturday, so this isn't like a long long time.
One is crazy, moving around, knocking over the hydrometer-thermometer, throwing shells around, etc. The other is in her little cave sleeping. Every. Minute. Of. The. Day.
And night. I'm holding out that she's being a weird crabby, but I don't think so. Her awful, awful painted snake shell is in the same position as always (snakes head facing up at a certain angle), and I can only see her shell. She moved yesterday morning when I was looking in the tank (I think my shadow made her go back into her shell). I haven't touched her or moved the hut or anything and nor will I, I just really want encouragment and like, hope. Because last time I was crabbing, both of my crabbies died, even though my conditions were apparently fine. (both during molts)
So. Could someone share a success story? About PPS/not moving crab for a couple of days, and about molting? It would lift my spirits a lot.....
Thank you.
