Thank you everyone for your answers!! Gave me peace of mind! I will give them a bit less food though.

So I brought home a pac man frog, who unfortunately has pinworms. Many keepers have told me not to worry about it because these worms help with digestion and don’t cause much of an issue. Wondering how true that is and if that applies to my crabbies?

I got my crabs about 6 months ago. They have gotten MASSIVE since then. They were super small and would just hide in their shells. Now they are huge, my question is, am I feeding too much? I put way more in their bowl than they can finish but I just don’t want them to be hungry!

Hiya! I am new here! I had crabbies as a child but recently purchased them in October of 2019. Over the past few months with them, I have finally got their tank to where it is in pretty great condition. Only thing is, their humidity is always above 90%. I don't spray often. I do have large water dis...

Ive bought cork rounds, fake plants, heaters, aquarium decor, hammocks, substrate, lids, etc. I love amazon lol

How often do you change the decor in your crabitat? How often is too often to change things around? I'm trying to keep my crabs lives entertaining but not stressful.
