Mine get behind their climbing wall too. I'll hear their shell scraping the glass.

Our crabs would always do that when we had a coconut fiber back. I don't think it will hurt them as long as they know to get out back out.

Mine do this too :) They are prey animals, so it is their instinct to hide :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
