Progress is wonderful!!

Post by Allyb01 » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:05 am

I'm so glad to say that today I completed my tank! I am so happy that I have finally finished up setting my tank up for my little guys. I think they are liking it very much. I have two that are constantly digging (Tweedles + Twinkie). Tonight I just went to check and saw Tweedles resurfacing after two days down under! I am growing a little concerned for Tiny. After adding in a hut for them Tiny has gone inside and not moved since. It's been almost two days and he hasn't moved. The temperature and humidity are perfect so those aren't affecting him. What can I do? Also another thing is that I don't think any of my crabs are eating. How can I know for sure they have eaten?

Sometimes they do just sit for days. Sometimes they just go back to the exact same spot after a 4am stroll. They eat so little, it can be very hard to tell. One thing you could try is smooth the sand around your food dish(es), sometimes they leave tracks when they have been there.

Ok thanks! I woke up this morning and found him down under the sand for the first time. Yay!
