how long does it take her to "harden up" again?

Coincidentally, this is my little girl's first molt since I've had her.

She's not so little anymore. It appears as though she's gotten nearly twice as big. I can see her in her cave with her shell still in with her. She's big. I know to leave her shell in for her to snack on and get her some calcium, but now I'm being super vigilant. She shares that cave with a shy Blue Gouramie who seems to be leaving her alone, but I'm on alert here.

How long before she hardens back up and is relatively safe again?

It'll take a few hours, she should be fine in less than a day.

Also, leave the shell in there... she'll eat it to replace the calcium, and will grow her shell faster.
