From: crabworks Big date: Thu Topic: Re: Improve back at my Hermies..for this day! October My old crabs constantly dug less than an article of record or a rock in order to molt. Today I want to give all of them with postings to hang him or her upwards. As far as i accept that they need a moist substrate where so you’re able to molt securely, I do not thought it look underwater meals in order so you’re able to moisten new substrate or significantly less than dinner foods to own a good treat after molting . (I understand you used to be joking, Marie.) I believe what people are enjoying ‘s the dependence on a good crab to burrow below one thing flat to manufacture good nest in order to getting a defensive rooftop overhead. And you can I’m sure it assists if liquids is built in the techniques, even though unintentional. I am a company believer in the a damp molting substrate. Suppose y’all know that. ??

Hey gals and you may males, Immediately after understanding a whole lot in the forest sleep (bedding), I thought i’d test it. I experienced the new brick (TRex) sawed to your quarters and you may over loaded one to part. I then dependent an excellent Lego wall structure along side chief container, and you may occupied in the one fourth of container which have tree bed linen. The new Lego wall structure work very well, surprisingly adequate (middle size Legos), having gravel on one side and on one or two inches regarding forest bedding on the other. Better, my personal two crabs are not appearing overjoyed to get it. They need occasional guides with it, but mostly stick to brand new gravel front side. I have used it which have and you will in the place of a good UTH not as much as it. At least it haven’t pulled much of it into pebbles. It actually was well worth an attempt. Possibly at the molt day they will want it. I’ll leave it here a tiny extended in the main tank. Legos failed to act as structure to hold up a slate roof once they was basically strengthening molting nests. Jon and you will Kate entirely shed the latest wall space as they attempted to enjoy to help you Asia. For those who think of, I also plastic banded the fresh Legos together, in addition they constricted aside all rubber bands. Seems, in what I’ve been in a position to see right here, the nothing crabs along these lines Tree Sleep a knowledgeable. While the jumbos appear not to promote a hoot. Carol
