Molting Spree

Post by iluvhermies »

I think my hermies are on a molting spree. I had 40 hermies molt last year. Since January I have had 24 to molt so far. I have several others who are under right now. 16 this month alone. My largest hermie has buried under again. He is a jumbo he molted last year and was down for 4months and 1 week. He is buried under again right now. I have Sandy who I would say is small to med I have had her since May 22 last year and she has never buried under once. I have another Dopy who buried down for 2 days and has not buried again. I have had him since May 8 last year. He is a med.

Mine appear to be moulting together too.
I have been "crabbing" since August '06. I got off to a rough start (R.I.P Pinchy) but I am now more knowledgeable and addicted to my crabs!
