I have yet to figure out how to get my pics on here. It always tells me my file is too large, both through Tapatalk and from my iPad. Guess I should try from my laptop maybe?

New crabitat!!

So I FINALLY got to start setting up my new crabitat last night and couldn’t wait to see if any of my crabbies would be awake so I could move them lol. Well, 2 DID grace me with their presence...I let them eat and wander a bit before moving the 2 and it’s been so fun watching them explore....change ...

Food buffet

So after days of a newbie I was worried about... He finally came up and has been feasting for over an hour!!!! I didn't even have much out because they have all been down but he has been at the peanut butter, a grape, river shrimp, honey and the egg shells... It makes me feel better that he came up ...

Re: Substrate mixing question

I preferred to mix in tank, but many find it easier to mix in bucket... even then, crabs will end up mixing it themselves so it doesn't have to be perfect!

Re: Substrate mixing question

Yep! There is nothing wrong with going with more EE and it will help with the hunidity levels for sure. Just be aware it may take more maintence when it comes to keeping it moist, and that it can get oversaturated more easily as well. One more question... Is it easier to mix in the tank or a bucket...

Re: Crabitat done!

I hope he continues to be more active... I'm hopeful now... Most of the crap sand I had is off of his shell since this last time he dug down it was in EE. Starting to set up my new tank later today with the proper substrate levels so I hope he stays above or at least pops back up again when the new ...

Re: Substrate mixing question

Thank you! It will be crabless for a few days so I think I will start out with the 5:1 and see how the humidity holds up for a day or 2 and go from there.

Substrate mixing question

Hello! I am going to be setting up a new tank in the next few days (once I find a suitable stand or table that will hold the weight). I know that most use the 5:1 ratio but I was thinking of going more with the EE for humidity reasons...is it okay to do a 5:2 or 5:3 ratio? I don’t have a lid for the...
