I wanted to share about my crabbies with others who would understand my excitement. I got a couple of crabs from the pet store. They were in a tiny, plastic container with fresh food and a water dish with a sponge and an inch of dust. At first glance it looked like no crabs were in there, but then the salesperson lifted the clear plastic container they were using as a hide and they all came boiling out! Huge ones! A dozen or more, poor things. After they scrambled away I started searching through the dirt. I started peeking inside the medium shells to see if they were empty. Deep inside two shells, where you could barely see them, I found two crabbies. I brought them home and put them in my tank. That night they started exploring. They were so active! It was wonderful to watch.
The next night I got to watch one sit at the salt water dish and drink and drink. It was so awesome! I now know that's moulting behavior. The next day he had disappeared.
The next night I watched the second one start digging. He was all around, just digging little holes. Again, I learned this was moulting behavior. The next morning he was gone, too!
I am both thrilled and anxious. I can't wait for them to come back and try on some new shells. I'm also pleased they found their environment suitable to moult.
Thank you!
