I have 2 Red Claw crabs, a male and female.
The male i got 3 weeks ago and the female 2.
At first they were fine, mooching about everywhere, the female one moulted and they were still both fine.
However last weekend i noticed they kept falling over onto their backs when walking. I gently checked to see if they were ok and placed them back the right way up.
The female still keeps falling over but manages to get back up again.
The male though has stayed in the same position i placed him in 2 days ago.(right way up)
He is alive as any time a fish comes near he slightly moves his pincher and i can see his eye mouth and gills moving.
It seems as though he is unable to move and the female is gradually becoming stiffer to.
I have asked the shop i bought it from and searched the web, i cannot find any info... please help.
