I am getting worried about my marmorkreb, Frankenberry. For the last 2 days she has been hiding in her house and only coming out to get food. The other thing I noticed is before she started this behavior she constantly was cleaning her swimmerettes. Now her tail is curled under her and like I said she is constantly in hiding but still has the same appetite. Can anyone help me out and give me a clue to what is going on because I am new to the crayfish trade

Awesome!!! The eggs will be black/dark brown but there should be some unfertilized ones mixed in which are usually a light tanish/orangish color. Hopefully she will hold her eggs--but as this is her first berry almost anything may happen. It should take about 25-30 days and then you will have your face pressed up to the glass looking at almost microscopic teeny weeny crayletts!!!! :clap:
