well if she doesnt want to hide then she's not going to lol
when they molt they are vulnerable because their new shell/exoskeleton is very soft so if attached if could be fatal. That's why they will hide to keep out of the way and they don't like to be disturbed either.
Mine hides for a few days when she molts and comes out all bigger and new showing off.
Make sure you leave the old shells in there for them to eat.
Maybe she won't hide because she doesn't feel anywhere is safe enough of big enough for her new shell.
You shouldn't have that many cray fish in that small of tank. I know im guilty of overstocking my tank in the past but after coming on here and learning all about the hobby and stuff i've sorted all that out.
Crayfish will fight for territory and in such a small space whether they are male or female or not is asking for trouble and some dead crays. Maybe a male and female together but even then they have nowhere really to go when they get in each other's faces.
