Ha ha! I just looked in my picture and on the bridge is a huge piece of poo!

Do you throw out all the food once they poo in it? I do throw it out. It grosses me out. Lol

Also do your crabs sit in the food dish? I'm guessing thats normal?

Yep! All normal behavior :D Dried foods I leave in the tat for 2 days then throw it out. Fresh foods I clean out every morning to prevent mold and mites. Only poop you would need to clean out is the ones you see. I use a plastic spoon to do that. Honestly, my vision is not that great and a lot of the poop and sub look the same to me unless it isn't on the sub :shock: Either way even their poop is all organic and I believe gets broken down in the sub too. So really just need to spot clean what you see :)

How funny! I can't see it either unless it's not in the substrate! I planted chia seeds and use their poop to fertilize them. I planted them Saturday and they are about an inch tall tonight well what's left of them that is! Thanks for your advice and help. It's greatly appreciated. Image
