From: crabworks Time: Wed Subject: Re: Carol crabworks nicole composed: ” Carol (or if perhaps this woman is busy anyone who knows) What sort of substrate would you play with. Extremely great gravel (hard to get today), extremely damp, inside the molting tank. You can find both in my Bing folder towards Hermies. The fresh new okay content is within the photographs of the Lego structure which they tore asunder. Jon is in the main tank photographs having normal gravel immediately following good molt. Carol
I just wished to let you know that a Lego wall surface performs perfectly here

Well, nobody’s responded yet, Maryann. I just complete all of them with liquids and put them in the a plate of h2o and you can microwave throughout the four minutes (boiling). Then i move him or her better to leave this new junk. This can be my procedure for brand new shells or of those which have been employed by you to crab and you will discarded. Another crab constantly wants give me personally downs. Possibly a circular bottles brush is suitable to reach into the? Otherwise Qtips? Your own pinky? Carol
From: crabworks Big date: Thu Subject: Re: Revision to my Hermies..because of it few days! October My old crabs constantly dug below a piece of slate or a rock to molt. Today I want to provide these with listings to hold them upwards. As far as i accept that they need a damp substrate in which in order to molt properly, Really don’t imagine they dig underwater dishes in order to moisten the fresh new substrate otherwise lower than restaurants dinners to own an excellent treat immediately following molting . (I’m sure you’re kidding, Marie.) In my opinion exactly what folks are watching is the requirement for good crab in order to burrow less than some thing flat to manufacture a good nest and be a protective rooftop overhead. And you will I understand it can help in the event the liquids try built about techniques, though unintentional. I’m a firm believer within the a damp molting substrate. Imagine y’all know that. ?? I’ve been convinced so it over for quite some time. My personal thoughts comes from individual observations. People takers on this subject? Carol regarding CrabWorks

PS: Trust in me, if they you’ll just do it the way they always, I would personally getting really thankful. If i got a giant container which have really deep pebbles…really, I do not and it also is tough to ensure that it stays warm sufficient and you may would want a lot of gravel to have poor mom to wash. I can’t actually discover more good pebbles. Thus…this new architect is definitely working. ??

Hi gals and you will people, Immediately following discovering really throughout the tree sleep (bedding), I decided to test it. I’d the new brick (TRex) sawed towards flirtwith quarters and you may soaked one to region. I quickly situated good Lego wall structure over the main tank, and you may occupied in the one fourth of one’s container which have forest bed linen. This new Lego wall really works really well, remarkably enough (middle size Legos), with pebbles on one hand and about a couple of ins of forest bed linen on the other. Really, my personal one or two crabs don’t seem overjoyed to get it. It capture unexpected treks inside, however, generally remain on brand new gravel side. I’ve tried it that have and you will instead of good UTH less than it. No less than it haven’t pulled a lot of they toward gravel. It had been well worth a go. Maybe during the molt go out they think its great. I’ll leave it indeed there a tiny extended in the main tank. Legos didn’t work as structure to hang up a record roof once they were strengthening molting nests. Jon and you may Kate completely destroyed the new structure because they tried to look to China. For folks who consider, We also plastic banded the Legos with her, and they constricted apart every rubber bands. Looks, in what I’ve been able to discover right here, that nothing crabs in this way Forest Bed the best. In addition to jumbos check to not ever promote a beneficial hoot. Carol
