Crabs can be buried for months. I would not dig for it cuz digging up a crab can be very stressful to it. I believe sometimes they will bury if they are handled too much they really don't love to be picked up. Good luck to you. I heard of a crab that lived in a ladies home for MANY years not in any tank. She left a bowl of water and food for it and she would see it every once in a while. If your crab is out of the tank in Texas it will probebly make it, just listen at night for "crab sounds".
