Crabs Never Come Out

Post by jonathon1989 » Wed May 18, 2022 10:22 am

I don't know what's is going on. In the beginning my crabs were always crawling around the tank and highly active. Then at one point I moved them into my living room and they stopped showing up. So I moved them back into my bedroom and they are still not coming out, not even at night. I can hear them clunking around but its from under the substrate.

It sounds like they may just be partying underground. That by itself isn’t necessarily bad but the tank moving around may have spooked them a little.

Two came out last night and we're exploring around the tank. I'm hoping the others will join in.
