I have 25 crabs right now, split between a 40 gallon and a 110 gallon. All the ones in the 40 gallon are the smalls who will be sent to schools as class pets after we've worked on setting up a proper crabitat. I rehabilitate a lot of them ^^ Aaaaah 110 gallon, my dream gallonage! Sounds like crabto...

Hi staticfurball! I just wanted to add: Do not bury your guy yourself. Its ok to give him stuff to bury in, though. Crabs dig down to get cool. Don't worry about it not being completely warm, as long as he can move to a warm spot of he needs to. When in ISO i would just put them where you know it is...

They smel't the smelt!!! [emoji317]
How many crabs do you have?
I think i have about 6,557,855 reasons for loving living in a coastal town. #1 being that i do not live in a coastal town. [emoji133]
