If the temp is constantly falling below 75, crabs will become less active because it isn't warm enough. It may also cause stress. I would handle him as little as possible, because that might only stress him more. Just try to bring the food to wherever he is sitting in the tank if he needs a little assistance eating. If you don't get an Ultratherm uth, I believe some on here have also recommend Fluker's uth.relaxits4lex wrote:UPDATE:
I’ve been watching over Leo the past few days. He’s been hiding mostly, and he hasn’t really come out to get either food or water. I’ve started to pick him up and place him over the bowl so he can grab something (which has worked), though he doesn’t take the soft pellets I break down for him. He just goes for the other food and just keeps it in his mouth. Which I think is a good sign. Also as heating goes, I’ve been trying to warm up the water I spray the tank with in attempt to get the temperature up a couple degrees. It works, but not in the way I really wanted it to. I’m heading to the store sometime this week to get a heating pad to keep the tank warm.
Any thoughts on anything? On Leo’s eating habits?
