Repeat Molt so Soon?

Hi! Molting question here.. I have 5 crabbies in 20g tank, the first one arrived back in July and the last one in Sept. Since then, 3 have molted successfully! Yay! The last two that haven't molted yet dug down about a week ago and seem to be down for their molts. The strange thing is that my first molter (who's good buddies with the other two who are down-under), went back under 3 days ago and I haven't seen her since. She molted only 2 months ago so it seems way too soon for her to molt again, right? Could she be molting again so soon or is it something to be worried about??

Thanks!
Julie

Congrats on the successful molts. Back to back molts are not uncommon. Sometimes they just dig down to chill out too, or could be coming out at night. I wouldn't be concerned.

Even though they are underground they know they are there. :)
