On top of that, my 2nd biggest squeezes in there with him! The big spacy hut stays empty 24/7. Its been months since anyone was in there... I wonder why. Sometimes the small hut is crammed full and the others just pile up around it. I seriously never thought about how odd that really is :lol:
Mine go in small spaces too Image

Im trying to! Few weeks back i smelled what we assumed was the molting smell so hopefully soon. Ive just noticed since shes been under ive been a lil hands off on my care. Not fair to my other crabbies. Just hard when i dont want to do anything to hurt her while shes doing such a long molt.
