Re: Cannibalism?

Thanks for your answer. Well, they weren't really new new, they came on separate lapses, and were up about a month before they went down all together. Maybe it was too crowded, or maybe I don't have enough digging space. But no worries, I'll be getting a new tank with more sand and more balanced con...

Re: My straw just said what?

Might sound weird, but the other day when I picked my crab who is some sort of afraid of me, he was hiding and hiding in his shell. Then he came out, maybe cause of the time, maybe cause I talked to him. With my lips I imitated that noise that sounds like wet leather or something like that, and with...

Re: Cannibalism?

I'll try. Yesterday on the night I put a piece of fruit star and raw bacon in the tat, although my crab didn't go out at all. But on the morning, when I checked it, there were ants on the meat. Could those have been ants? Cause, I think the hannibal would have eaten also the exo, right? If it is ant...

Re: Cannibalism?

Cannibalism?

It sure didn't went more than 7, for sure. So the other day I damped the 'tat so that the sand is really ...

Remember when they're gray they're ready to hatch. I read you're giving up the babies but I would at least give it a try. I mean, I have a very very few tiny shells, but anything can work. I would put the shells inmediatly in the tank where the babies are so they metamorphose quicklier. Feed 'em bri...

I used it once but I didn't like the fact of sand getting messed up, but i've gotta say it's a really jice product. Behind it, there's a hidey alley where every crab loves to hide, and it's climbable for any size crabs! Totally recommended.
