Phormictopus auratus buried for about a month

[x_raphael_xx]

Mr T sealed up the entrance to his burrow about 4 weeks ago and hasn't been seen since.
I assume he's in premolt, so I haven't been bothering him.

He was about 7cms when he disappeared, are p.auratus known for long premolts? How long do I leave it before checking up on him?

My P. cancerides hasn't eaten in 6 months. Her premolt is never ending. Sadly, this seems par for the course with this genus.

I shall leave him to it then, and enjoy my pet cork bark

I have an adult female and yes, she has long premolts (often 3-4 months). I wouldn't be concerned unless she looks dehydrated with a shrunken abdomen.

Well I haven't seen him at all, but he was chunky when he disappeared.
I am making sure there's plenty enough water for him.
