pre-moult?

Post by krazykrablady »

Jilly's leg has looked ashy for a couple of days, and today I notice it looked the same on the eyes... is this a sign of pre-moult? :S guess I should get the iso tank ready just in case huh? or would it be better to leave her in there cause there's only 2 crabs?

has she been digging? the discoloration is a sign of pre-moult but there are others too. checking out new shells, digging, drinking and eating a lot, and not moving a lot are other signs. i would keep a close eye on her for these other signs. if she starts digging, put her in ISO. i hope everything goes well.
