ok so ive been away on a camp for 5 days, and i got back on friday. all seemed to be ok with my crabs (my dad had been looking after them).
but yesterday i was really buisy, and didnt really pay any attention to my crabs, so today when i was checking on them again, i was shocked to see on out of its shell. it is still alive, because when i went to touch it, thinking that it was dead, it moved.
i am still not sure which crab it is, and am not sure what to do, i didnt put it in an isolation tank, because i have a crab that has recently moulted in there.
i did notice the day that i came hme, that the was a few crabs, or at least one that had change shells, but apart from this, nothing out of the ordinary. i have no idea what to do
if you can pls help
help asap please, crab is naked

Re: help asap please, crab is naked
Double check the perimeters of your tank, humidity (calibrate the gauge too), air temp and substrate temp. But with you being gone for 5 days and then busy yesterday it is hard to say what the perimeters were during your absence.

Re: help asap please, crab is naked
Sorry to hear that, CrazyCrabGal. Since there seemed to be some shell changes, chances are it could have been a shell fight, but to be safe, you really need to double check the parameters of your tank to make sure the temp, humidity, substrate temp, etc. are all within range.
I'm sorry for your loss hon. Now he's over the rainbow bridge playing with all the other little crabbies, probably climbing a vine with my Larry and Mario right now!
