They look like actual crabs now!
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
Crabbing for 4 years!

I just started reading your journey this morning and am stuck doing nothing else. Lol. But I had to chime in on these pics. Awesome cuteness!! Do you think hand raising them will keep them from being so skittish?

Nope they haven’t been handled at all. They are still wild and instinct will remain. It would take many many many generations of captive breeding to make any difference and even then I doubt it would change

I saw 4 together a couple of nights ago so that means at least 4 have made it to their first birthday (4th Dec)
