Not moving out of the moss
My crabs dont leave the moss. Not even to eat. Is something wrong?

Re: Not moving out of the moss
Hello!
Did you just add the moss? What’s your humidity in the tank? The only thing I can think of is that the crabs really just love the moss, or are staying there to retain more humidity due to a possible lack of humidity inside the tank.

Do you have a thermometer and hygrometer? What do they read?

Re: Not moving out of the moss
If your humidity and everything looks good, they might just really like it. My crabs spend a lot of time in the moss pit, especially if it’s fresh. They eat it too, which will make them unwilling to get out for food! (Why move when I have a whole buffet right here?) eventually they’ll leave.

I see that in my crabs all the time. Some days I swear they eat moss by the quart.musicalhermies wrote:If your humidity and everything looks good, they might just really like it.
