Does anyone have experience with Halloween Moon crabs (Gecarcinus quadratus)? I'm a bit worried about the ones that I have. I got my first one in October and had her in a ten gallon tank with sand substrate. In November I moved her to a 40 gallon and it took her about a week to burrow. About a week after she burrowed she stopped coming out to eat. I looked through a little window she made in her burrow but didn't see a molt. Two weeks ago I got three more crabs (three more females) and introduced them into the tank so she wouldn't get lonely. Those crabs burrowed right away and they haven't come out to eat either. They covered up the windows to their burrows, but sometimes I can hear their feet skittering across the glass at night. Is it normal for them to go so long without eating? I thought that they had to eat every day. I'll post some pics of their enclosure below.
