molting confusion

ike buried himself last saturday. he had been digging for a while, so i just assumed he was finally going to molt. however, adam found him this morning on the other side of the cage, buried again under one of the hermie huts. i thought that if they were molting for fun, they didn't stay under longer than a day. can anyone, besides ike, tell me what he's doing? should he be isolated? bebe is my definately molting crab. she's been under...going on her second week. she's quite content, and has been moving a lot, i hope to see her again either this coming week or the week after.

Ike is probably just playing around, so don't stress too much.

I have several of them that keep doing that. Afew of them are ones that just got done moulting. They are so confusing and I think they liike to keep us guessing.

I agree. He might just be having fun. still keep watching him, but don't worry. they know what they are doing.
