OKAY. It has like I've said takes less time to come out when it wants to. When I first got 'em it took 30 min. Now the record is 2 min. but thats after previous attempts to come out. Like it takes 10 mins then he'll go back in then it will be 7 mins, then 5mins, etc. But they are eating. By the way I'll refer to the "SHY" crab as Mr. Eugene Crabs or Crabs for short.

poor guy. He just has to get use to his surroundings. it's good he is mocving, explore, figureing stuff out! It would be quite a change to be shipped to a pet store, then placed into another new invirement! ^)
it's still good news he is coming out quicker!

the more you hold them, the more they like it. I use to hold my hermeis a lot and they started liking it and got use to it, now i haven't in a really long time and they hate it!!! :)

all of the crabs that i have now will not go back into their shell when i pick them up to play with them. when lemi and bebe first came up from their molts, they hid in their shells for a bit, but eventually they got used to it again. unfortunately right after lemi was getting used to be held again, he went under for this 2nd molt. they're so funny.

I have one that was very shy the shell is big enough it can go in and you can not see it at all. It went down and moulted it is one of my most active crabs now. So we named it happy.
