Is your only source of food on second level? Also, it'd be more beneficial if you posted the emergency template questions?

nope. There is 3 food bowls. 1 fresh on each level, and one commercial food (I checked the ingredients) on the lower level.

Have you tried a moon light to watch you crabs at night to see if their active at night ? My set up is pretty much by the book and my guys only are active at night like crazy active having a moon light helped me be able to see how active they actually are after dark.

Yes, but it will allow us to see if anything seems off or could be the provocation for your problem. It can be posted here it doesn't have to be in the emergency section. Also, as mentioned above. Some of my crabs only make an appearance after 2 a.m. They are mostly nocturnal!

That's why I'm suggesting they get a moon lite to see how active they are at night. Their nocturnal creatures most likely their running a muck at night and are fine.
