Advice on mixing sand into tat

[Tarn]

Hi everyone,

I have been told that I need to mix some sand into my substrate. What type of sand should I get and can you suggest how to go about mixing it in. I have one little crab down moulting.

Thanks

What kind of substrate are you using now? It may not be possible to mix it in until your molter comes up.

Hi, I just have Coir in there. What if I put the sand on top and let the crabbies work it through as they are digging around?

That would be fine. Just be sure to slowly add it a little at a time so you don't accidentally collapse any tunnels. Your crabs will mix it up eventually or once their all up you can just give it a good mix. Make sure you pick up play sand, not any calcium-type sand.
