Scared

Post by Pumpkincrab » Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:22 pm

hello all.
My crab, Pine, may molt soon- she is a small crab and she molted last month.
She is very inactive and has been eating a lot.
The thing is, I have 4 crabs in a 10gal. 2 of the crabs are TINY.
I have a 20gal I've been DYING to move them into, but I don't have enough substrate, no tank lid, and I'm worried I'll mess up the heating and humidity again.
Thoughts? I'm scared that Pine will be eaten in her molt.
Should I move some of the other crabs into iso?

Please help!
Thank you, I'm so worried and scared! :( :crabblush:

If you can not maintain two tanks, you should not move any crabs over into another tank.

thanks Curly. I think I could maintain 2 tanks but I can't afford it right now.
do you think Pine will be okay?
