Speed demon crab!

Post by Crabby Appleton »

My pp crab Romeo has been racing around the tank for the past 2 days. There isn't one inch he hasn't dug up, he digs himself down, stays down for a couple of hours then it's back up to race around,or he tunnels around the tank. Am I missing something? I've had him for 4 years and he's never acted like this before. ^)

Could he be pre-moult and looking for a good place to hide?

Yes he could be. That's what I kind of thought but he seems to be everywhere. I even put in more bedding to make it deeper. He seems more interested in examining every square inch of the tank in fast motion. Or what is fast for a hermie. lol
