Quiet tank...

Post by Giner13 » Fri Jun 03, 2016 8:37 pm

Well my Peanut is still down molting haha but it's just now a day past 4 weeks.
Now I think Capt. Jack has decided to go down!! He had a nice little cave under the food dish...now he has it sealed off. And is it a beautifully sealed cave!! Now I have no crabbies to watch....*cricket cricket*

I was quite enjoying Jack being out at most hours of the day! He was climbing all over even during the day time.
Peanut has been down for a month now, so still some time yet. Jack molted for 4 weeks exactly lol but he may have decided to again!

Oh man i hate when all my crabs dig down at once. Its like im taking care of an empty tank. Its the worst. I moved into a new apartment for an entire semester and one of my crabs never saw the interior of that apartment because he was under the entiiree semester lol i feel your pain just resist the urge to buy more because thats how you end up with a colony lol

Trust me I am resisting the urge!ImageImage
Even if I wanted to, I don't have the space to add more than my current two. I only have a 10gal, but as soon as I can I plan to upgrade!
