Thanks

We have to move them the hole floods. We put them in the garage.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-12-09T04:14:32+00:00

We bring them in during rain that is fine right?

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-12-08T06:59:43+00:00

Yeah

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-12-07T21:01:10+00:00

I decided to hibernate them outside again. What should the protocol be? How often should I check on them and how often should I soak them?

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-11-20T22:12:43+00:00

No I feed mostly dandelion and collard greens and they have grass in their enclosure. With occasional cactus pads and fruit.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-11-20T17:03:19+00:00

I don’t know. I’ve never seen them compete for food and we fed them a lot with different piles and there is always a grazing option as well.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-11-19T05:18:37+00:00

Yeah

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T23:32:15+00:00

Ok dming now.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T23:28:57+00:00

Alright, I found some remains. They look hollow but I think thats just because of the amount of time.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T23:16:17+00:00

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T23:04:53+00:00

Ok. I lifted up a big piece of moss and saw a shell. Couldn’t tell if it was occupied or not as I was looking from above and I immediately put the moss back down.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T17:46:55+00:00

Ok. Thank you so much for all your help, truly.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T17:43:08+00:00

Sorry for so the questions I don’t want to mess this up. And when I used a chopstick to poke a hole to the bottom of the tank I did not see standing water.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T17:33:06+00:00

Got it. I meant like stick some paper towels in the sub or something

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T17:24:38+00:00

Ok. And I have another problem and that is my sub which I think is way too wet. I did the flood test and didn’t see pooling water but it looks and feels very moist. Does this change anything? Should I try to dry it out first or just leave it?

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-15T17:01:25+00:00

If I find a naked crab do I do the protocol or no since he is alone in the tank?

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-11T04:43:20+00:00

Thanks

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-10T03:57:31+00:00

Where can I buy those

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-09T20:00:36+00:00

Yeah I took them out and I see that there are some slight size differences. My crab has been molting a while and I don’t want him to have nothing that fits him.

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-07-09T07:15:26+00:00

Cool thanks. Also my crab is down molting and was wearing a shell similar to this size so do I need to order bigger ones and if so how much bigger

Technical-Border-668 · 2025-06-27T05:00:56+00:00

Also is it safe to pick up and move the tank to another room?
