Hi,
I'm sorry I don't know where to post this but I need help.
My crab has successfully molted 3 times with me, but this time I came home and she looks different and I am scared she is dead.
Usually I catch her molt after she is already done and her exoskeleton has fallen away and she is inside, but right now I don't see anything falling away and she is just very very pale and kind of white and not moving and her antennas are bent funny and I have been watching her very closely for a little while now and no movement at all. I am * hoping* this is just an early stage of molt? Are they usually very pale?
She does not smelly fishy or anything yet but she was okay last night or at least moving (she was paler than usual last night), and now she is not moving and looks very sick.
She has been a bit sluggish lately so I hope she is molting, but I am also worried she is sick or something because she's gotten so pale in the last week. She went into her Coconut Cabana but I can see her perfectly in the entrance and she didn't bury herself or anything?
What do you think? I'm leaving her alone but I'm SCARED :'(. I love her, she's my only crab because I'm scared to get her any friends because she killed her crabmate last year.
Thanks, Liz
