emmac350 [ 01 Jul 2009, 07:56 am ]

It sounds like they overheated - that's usually what strange fluids leading from them means. Please post all information about your tank conditions in the autopsy section and we can help you figure it out.

ladybug15057 [ 30 Jun 2009, 10:19 am ]

But hermies can take from a day up to 3+ months to molt. Check out the ends of his legs and bottom 'tips' of his pinchers for any fresh sharp black nails.

ladybug15057 [ 30 Jun 2009, 10:18 am ]

misspam6 there have been rare times that a hermie can molt in one day when they burrow and come up the next.

emmac350 [ 30 Jun 2009, 10:04 am ]

He has not molted. Molting, even with the tiniest of crabs, takes at least a week or two.

misspam6 [ 30 Jun 2009, 07:56 am ]

please be patient with me i am new to this. and i have checked the forums. i need t know how long it takes to moult. my one crab buried himself this mourning and has just emerged ad i ant tell if anything happened or not
