HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Okay, I do not know what to do. We decided to dig for the crabs today, and we found rivulet halfway through a molt, and A bunch of claws and legs. Shockers fine, and it looks like Gizmo has all his legs. It can't be Rivulet's legs cause they're too big for him. What should we do with each crab?

I would first check the limbs to ensure they are not EXO. You do this by examining the insides of the limbs and if they are hollow then it is simply EXO. If you have actual limbs then it is entirely at your discretion whether to start digging for remaining buried hermies or not.

Well, they are not hollow, and they are definately from Gizmo. But he seems to have all his limbs, so I assume he grew them back after a molt. He was buried for about three months now so I was starting to wory. I just put a coco-hut over my molter instead of the isolation tank because it might be too cold and stressful there 'cause it has no heat source.

That is probably the best thing to do and please let me know what happens.

Well, so far so good. I checked on Rivulet today, and it seems he's eaten all his exo. The other crabs don't seem to be bothering him.

Sounds good and once they reach the point where their EXO is at least mostly eaten all worries should be out the window.

Well yesterday found he wasn't under the hut so I assume he buried himself
