White spots on legs
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2022 7:36 pm
Hi all,
My crabby (June) has a few white patches on two of his legs. He is much overdue for a molt and he hasn't gone down (yet). But he also has not acted like he needs to---he will literally spend 12+ hours straight running on his wheel, just about everyday, and he doesn't act weak or sluggish at all. The crabitat has more than enough room to molt (over 12+ inches of wet sandcastle-like substrate) and good humidity/temperatures. I feed him a variety of food such as crabby seafood mixes (from verified sellers on Etsy) and fresh food like bananas, grapes, egg shells, etc. I have attached a photo for your reference. He actually has two white patches but one was hard to get on photo. Please let me know if this is cause for concern and what I can do to help the discoloration.
Thank you,
Nikki
