Finger Crocheted Climbing Nets
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2020 8:25 pm
I put up some homemade nets in the tank today along with a little moss pit/shell shop! Very excited to see how the crabs like them. One has already taken a liking to the moss.
The pit is tied to the lid, while the nets are attached via adhesive hooks. I know suction cups are recommended due to humidity reasons, but these were the only things I could get at the moment.
I'm also working on a hammock/hide using similar means
The technique is explained here --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EVab_-R1ig
(warning though, it can be a little... rough on the hands if your doing this with jute twine like did)
{Also, I am aware that the substrate is a bit low in these pictures, I meant to put more in after I initially changed it out. My two crabs, however, decided to go down to molt almost immediately afterwards, so I've been a bit hesitant on messing with it until they both resurface. One of them (Ozark/Ozzie) resurfaced yesterday with much success, he's a bit larger and his previously missing leg tip has healed
. i'm suspecting the other (Osage) might make his reappearance by the end of the month, but you never know.}
