Re: Sunshine the Mangled [10/14 Photo of her whole!]

Post by wodesorel » Fri Nov 18, 2011 5:11 pm

She's up!!! She's up!!

:wav:

I went upstairs to to take care of the other critters this morning and saw footprints all over her tank, and there she was under the cocohut. :) I set up the 10 gallon she's been in with food, water, and some leaves to play in. Once I figure out how she's doing I'll decide if she's staying in there for a while or if she can move back to the main tank.

My camera is charging and if she's willing I'll get some photos later. (I haven't actually seen her yet, she's being quite shy.)

She still hasn't come out, but I was so excited that I got a photo of her claw. It's so perfect! :hearts:

She had definitely molted again, as this was what it looked like a month ago:

And here is her temporary home:

I think she's back molting again! She's been digging around a bit for the last few days, and this morning she's no where to be found.... I think this will be the biggest challenge she's had to face yet, and if she makes it through and looks normal after then I'll put her back in the regular tank.

Only a month or so to wait....

She's back up!

And looks exactly the same. :?


Ah well, we'll see how she does. I loaded up the tank with a ton of food. :) The only downside (or perhaps it's a good thing) is that she has the new beefy crab that isn't doing well in with her. After the whole Moya/dead crab panic I pulled all the underground crabs into ISO, but my 20 gallon ISO had him above ground (and the two other new crabs below ground). Rather than stress the big guy out even farther with a ton of crabs running around I popped him into Sunshine's tank, and then I realized that Sunshine was back up. At least the big buy is enjoying the leaf pile. :)

I'll take photos sometime tonight or tomorrow, but it'll probably be of just her claw. She's not coming out for me anymore, but at least she's alive!

yea! congrats on her doing good! It'll probably be nice for her to have someone to socialize with in the tank since it's been so long. :)
