Most good gravel (difficult to get now), extremely wet, in molting tank. You will find both in my personal Google folder towards Hermies. The new good content is within the photo of your own Lego structure that they tore asunder. Jon is within the fundamental tank photographs that have typical gravel immediately after a molt. Carol

Really, nobody’s responded yet, Maryann. I recently complete these with drinking water and set her or him inside a good bowl of h2o and microwave oven about four minutes (boiling). I quickly move them better to get out the fresh nonsense. This will be my personal procedure for brand new shells otherwise of these with become used by that crab and you may discarded. Others crab usually desires hands­ myself ­lows. Maybe a rounded bottles clean is suitable to arrive in to the? Otherwise Q­tips? The pinky? Carol

From: crabworks Date: Thu Topic: Re: Inform back at my Hermies..for it times! Oct My personal dated crabs usually dug not as much as an article of record otherwise a rock so you can molt. Now I want to bring them with listings to hang them upwards. In so far as i accept that they require a damp substrate in which so you can molt properly, I don’t envision they search under water dinners under control so you can dampen brand new substrate otherwise lower than dining foods for a snack just after molting . (I know you were joking, Marie.) I think exactly what everyone is seeing is the importance of good crab in order to burrow not as much as one thing flat to manufacture an excellent nest and also to become a protective roof over. And you can I’m sure it can help in the event the h2o is built from the techniques, no matter if accidental. I am a company believer in the a moist molting substrate. Suppose y’all remember that. ?? I have been considering that it more for a long period. My view arises from individual observations. People takers about? Carol out of CrabWorks

PS: Trust in me, once they you certainly will just do it the way they always, I’d end up being extremely pleased. Easily had an enormous container that have really strong gravel…well, Really don’t therefore might possibly be tough to keep it warm adequate and you will would want a great deal of gravel having poor mom to wash. I can not actually find more good pebbles. Therefore…brand new architect is obviously working. ??

Hey gals and you can people, Immediately following studying a great deal regarding the tree sleep (bedding), I thought i’d test it. I’d the stone (T­Rex) sawed on the residence and you may soaked that area. However created an effective Lego wall structure along the head container, and you can occupied on the a quarter of your container which have tree bedding. The Lego wall surface functions perfectly, amazingly sufficient (middle­ size Legos), with pebbles similarly and you may throughout the two inches of tree bedding on the other side. Really, my personal a few crabs don’t seem thrilled to have it. They capture unexpected strolls inside it, but generally remain on the fresh gravel top. You will find used it that have and you may in the place of an effective UTH lower than it. About they have not pulled much of they toward gravel. It absolutely was well worth an attempt. Maybe at molt date might like it. I shall let it rest truth be told there a little expanded in the primary tank. Legos did not become wall space to hold upwards a slate rooftop when they were building molting nests. Jon and Kate completely destroyed the new structure while they made an effort to search so you’re able to China. For people who contemplate, We also plastic ­banded the brand new Legos with her, and additionally they pinched apart most of the elastic bands. Looks, with what I’ve been in a position to read right here, the absolutely nothing crabs similar to this Forest Bed a knowledgeable. Therefore the jumbos look to not give a hoot. Carol
