Moss pit!

Post by Moonlightdreams » Sun Feb 11, 2018 8:03 pm

Finally got the moss pit done! :D Bought a box of ZooMed sphagnum moss on Friday and finally finished the net today. Peanut is underground molting, so I didn't want to dig down so I could bury the net, so it's just kind of hanging there for right now. Do you think Sheldon will be able to climb up/down it the way it is? I put him up in the moss pit earlier, and now I'm worried he either won't be able to get down, or he'll just climb off the side. :P Here's a picture. :D

Your crab should be fine - a net doesn’t have to be moored at the bottom for a crab to climb it, so long as it’s securely attached at the top :)

Thank you! :D He managed to find his way down, and he even waited until he was just an inch or so away from the bottom before he fell off! Silly crab. :P

Thanks! :D As soon as the crabbies are back up, it's time for some cleaning and remodeling. They didn't want to go out without a bang, of course, so nearly all of the cocofiber in one jar has been dumped out, and the smaller jar was shoved away from the side of the tank. :wink: We came home the other day to Sheldon stuck on top of the larger jar. He had slipped down the side and couldn't get a grip on the glass, so I had to rescue him. Now I'm making a net for the jar so poor Sheldon doesn't get stuck anymore. :lol:
