I'm new here

Post by Joulesaffection » Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:55 pm

I picked up some crabs on vacation (in Virginia Beach)
No knowing, but also knowing they couldn't live in that little cage.

Trying to keep them warm and semi comfortable (who knows how long they are in the pet store )
:(

We got our cage, and waiting for everything else to come in.
I posted elsewhere some questions but not sure what to expect for answers (just saw this thread).
My biggest concern is "play sand"

Thanks,
Julie Ann

Hi Julie Ann. Just saw your concern about playsand. We got ours from Home Depot, even in the dead of (Canadian) winter. Ask if they have some in the back. Good luck!

We did end up going to Home Depot and found it. I feel like 50lbs was not even enough.

Yeah, depending on the size of your tank, you will likely need multiple bags!
