Unhappy ??

should it take a few weeks for a small grab, [the smaller side of the small spectrum] to molt? it has been a while and i am worried, how long till the smell of death would come up through the substrate? [i use eco earth]

it can take any crab up to 4 months to molt. Just gotta be paitent n get your pacing slippers on. Try and relax all crabbers go through this. Ive had 2 of my crabbies down for about 3 weeks now and my other one just went through a surface molt. Just gotta hang in there bud, if you just need to talk or need to ask anythng else you can talk to me.
