Crab takes food from bowl

[Julsie]

Typically all of my crabs do fine and eat together in a pair or group whenever I add fresh food because they all swarm in at the same time. I did notice tonight that one of my jumbos sneakily crawled up behind another jumbo and into the food bowl only to snatch up a large tomato peeling and exit quickly out of the bowl to eat it some place else. Is that normal or he’s just being odd and might prefer to eat alone?

Some of our crabs do that every once in a while. That's how our one rescue Mr. Fishyhead got his game! It's perfectly normal, they just don't want to share!

That's why you should try and spot clean the crabitat every few days. Spot cleaning helps reduce bad smells, mold, and other issues from carried off food.

My crabs have an order that they eat Occasionally one will take something and run off.

I saw one of my crabs once, stuff food inside his shell for later.
