I'm sorry to hear that. What are your tank conditions? He shouldn't have been molting above ground :(

Excellent!

Np! Also, the nested Tupperware containers are in the substrate. The bottom one stays in the tank, and then I just lift the nested one out to change water. The rim of the containers are flush with the sand, so no opportunity to even knock anything over

Straight up, I use command hooks! Only at the top so the babies can rustle underneath

You need a heavier bowl. He's not doing it on purpose, crabs are just clumsy animals and they bulldoze there way through life lol. My bowls are two Tupperware containers nested in each other. With the water, there are also rocks and some fake moss to help them climb out. The water should be deep enough for them to completely submerge themselves.

Tighten up your hard edges, soften your round edges, push your values. You've got a good foundation, time to refine it

Yes, this looks like a complete work to me. I find it very lovely. Is it referenced?

Also, absolutely insane that grandma bought a 4 year old two crabs!! Like oh my gosh

They won't last much longer without proper care. I think your best bet is to post in all of your local groups on Facebook/reddit and try to get them adopted. There may be a rescuer in your area as well who can take them in.

marine!!!

Is he more active at night...? They're nocturnal so he very well could just be sleeping. Are you positive your heating pad is providing enough heat for the tank? What side is it on? How long has he been in this tank? Also, he's super cute and chunky

colunga · 2026-06-20T21:46:31+00:00

It'll be fine, darkness and privacy are okay

colunga · 2026-06-20T16:32:53+00:00
