Lack Of Antenna Movement A Sign Of Sickness?

Post by Guest » Sun Oct 23, 2005 1:29 pm

I recently saw something about the lack of antenna movement being an indicator of sickness. Is this both sets at the same time or is it ok for one set to be moving (only) while at rest???

I think that refers to consistent, droopy antennae even when the crab appears to be alert. Mine let their antennae droop while snoozing (both sets), but while they're up and about the antennae flick around quite a bit.Hope that helps. P.S. Love the avatar!
