Okay, so because I expect it of you all; I will do it too in case I am too flustered & missed something.
Sach's Crab Page Emergency Template
HOW MANY CRABS DO YOU HAVE,WHAT SIZES ARE THEY & HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THEM?-This is a new crab in isolation, had less than a week (shipped to me after coming from a pet store). He is about the size of a plum.
WHAT SPECIES OF CRABS DO YOU HAVE-He is a PP
TANK # AND SIZE(S))- 15 gallon
LID TYPE-Screen lid with double plastic, foil, cardboard, towel & baby blanket.
SUBSTRATE USED-Playsand & EE, 5:1
SUBSTRATE DEPTH-7 inches
HUMIDITY SOURCE-Pools & sub
HEAT SOURCE-Mat on back end (medium ZooMed), insulated with polystyrene on back
WHAT IS YOUR TEMP/HUMIDITY ON AVERAGE?-Day: 79-83*/81%-89%; Night: 79-81*/81%-89%
HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR WATER?-API Tap Water Conditioner
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SALT WATER?-Instant Ocean
WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR CRABS?-So far he has had SCP worm castings & Fruity Feast, coconut, broccoli, fresh clover, Fluker's crickets, fresh mini rose petals
WHAT TYPES OF HIDES/CLIMBS DO YOU HAVE?-Coco hut, turned over desk stacker
DO YOU HAVE AN ISOLATION TANK?-This is the iso tank
HOW MANY EXTRA SHELLS AND WHAT SIZES DO YOU HAVE?-So far I had only added 2; a Mexican turbo (about 1 1/4) and a jade turbo (about 1 3/4")
DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM & ANY OTHER INFO YOU THINK APPLIES-
He came from an out-of-state pet store & then was shipped overnight to me. He is missing one walking leg on his right side. The first couple days he seemed to sleep a lot; then I started seeing him out & about & going in the SW a lot. Tonight he went naked. His old shell seemed to be caught in the sand under the coco hut. I scooped him up with a big spoon and he grabbed on to the spoon. I tried putting him into the turbo but he curled back out. I'm afraid to grab him to do it because he is so big. I put him in a big bowl (he is too big for a mug) with his old shell & the turbo and a bit of water in the bottom. He is still naked
