Buried crab

Post by casssch » Thu Apr 16, 2015 2:16 pm

My teeny guy always buries himself leaving the top open, but underneath a fake plant. Well I was moving stuff around changing water, etc and my biggest one buried him in the hole. Should I dig him out?

DO NOT DIG HIM UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! He might be trying to molt.

Ok. I just thought I'd ask since the top of his hole was buried by another crab. I haven't touched him

Eh, he should be okay. If he didn't like being buried he had the chance to move. ;)
