I also have a bird, so add feathers and seeds to the mix. My fish on the other hand, pretty much keep all their mess to themselves. Except for water change day. LOL

Cats for pets = hair on everything and cat litter tracked on the floor.
Dogs for pets = hair on most things, and dog toys un-stuffed on the floor.
Crabs for pets = sand in the sink and on the floor, and trashed tanks!

Have you/ are you able to calibrate your thermometer/hygrometer?

not sure if they are still available but wouldn't hurt to ask

ohhh okay that makes a lot of sense
i was worried there was something wrong in my tank or something causing them to do this or something but that makes sense
thank you

The both these crabs are in 1-1/4" to 1-3/8 shell openings. That's an 8.5" wheel! Naturally they don't use their toys how they are intended!

i might be able to take them if others don’t work

hii
does anyone else have a problem with some of their crabs’s shells getting i guess you would say fogged up? like they get cloudy and it only clears with water but it comes back right away once it’s wet. is it just me? because i’m super curious why they r doing this.
