Re: My streaking crab is now molting-help
Hello everyone.. just a little update on Big Boy. He finished eating his exo a few days ago and is now recovering, I put a coco hut over him to let him de-stress. Usually when my crabs molt they are down for about a month or so but since he surface molted is there anything further I need/should do? Or should I just leave him alone and he will resume normal activity when he is ready? Thanks!

Yeah, leave him alone. Fiddling with him will just stress him out. He needs time being alone.

Thank you guys for all your support. Big Boy has resumed normal activity and is climbing around, back to normal. He really had me panic for a moment and I am thankful he made it through that difficult molt.

That's good to hear that he made it through. I hope I never have to go through one of those... I would freak out.
