Moving soon! Help!

Post by andyasdgfh » Tue Apr 16, 2024 8:35 pm

I'm moving to Texas on May 18th. We have one hermit crab who has been underground for about a month. We were afraid we'd have to interrupt his molt but luckily we finally saw him through the glass underground and he's moving his antennas about.

Do you guys think it's okay to scoop him out and put the others in the traveling tank with shallow sand? Or is 4 weeks to early to transfer them to the traveling tank? I just feel bad about them spending a whole month in a smaller tank with little sand.

Don't dig him up, if it is still a month away from moving. Let him stay underground as long as he wants to.
