I've noticed my crabs haven't eaten much at all in a week. They were moved into bigger space 20g. And added a 2nd level this morning. I set my biggest one (Eugene) on top of the new placed food dishes. He is drinking & eating as if he's starved!?!?

That's how my crabs seem to act if a molt is on the way!

True they all pigged out & then I moved em into a new bigger tank. And since then they've barely ate. I know it stresses them out to move but he (only 1)chowed when I put him on his food today. Oh well I added a 2nd level. Curious to see them explore tonight.
