Possible molter!

Post by Giner13 » Mon Apr 18, 2016 11:09 am

Haven't seen Captain up in the last week. Thought I heard scratching around 2 nights ago (around 8pm or so), but overall haven't seen any signs of him even touching his food the last few days. And I've been putting some of his favorites in, have the temp improved for him. I think my guy may be pre-molting!

That's possible! Or, he may be digging for fun! I have a crab that goes down for a while, doesn't molt or anything but must comes up at random times!
