Itsy · 02-09-2007, 12:25 AM

2 of my crabs have been burried one for a week and the other about 2 im starting to get worried about them ive seen no movement from them and am getting worried. Theres no fishy smell and there both small enough to go well under the sand the only problem is is we have 8 other crabs in the tank with them. Also one of my larger crabs seems like it is having problems going all the way into its shell but he hasnt been burrowing at all and i usually see him sitting in the middle of the tank hes eating alot. My other crab my biggest and one of my shyest has seemed to grow very fond of the water dish hes always sitting in it and we have no idea why please help me out i dont know whats going on ive never had a crab molt. My temp is the tank is about 70 and the humidity is about 78 if i could get some replies it would be awsome im so worried you can leave a thread on here or email me at katlinanderson@hotmail.com thanks

mine have been under for 5 days now. I noticed that they were hangin out in the water bowls a couple of days before they went under. I think they are ok. Hope your's are doing well
