Hello, I have 4 purple pinchers as said on my signature. I recently got back from a week vacation and my biggest Hexxus has done a molt.. Need advice because this is my first molt.
I will post pictures of my z4 and my crabitat in the pics tab.
Right now Hexxus has all her old exo off and she has her own food shell dish and water with her. Closed off the log hide she is in with a heavy log I have in the crabitat.
She is still soft now..
I need to know how long will it take for her exo to harden and how long will it take to recover.
She is medium to large
She hasn't been moving, she hasn't been eating, very lethargic I assume
I welcome myself ! Hello everyone

Hey 
Welcome here you may know me from HCA...
Just give the crab alot of food full of protein and calcium, moulting is a big effort for a crab.

Hi!
Make sure you boil that oyster shell, it could be dangerous if you don't, as so I heard!

I don't think it matters if you boil it or not, but better to be safe than sorry
