Re: New Crab owner - lethargic crabs
Crabs go through a lot before we get them, and are often stressed. So they may rest or hide, or even dig and go underground for a while. This is nothing to worry about. Crabs are often more active at night, so some people get a camera to check what they are up to while we sleep. In general, happy crabs aren't super active - they move around and do some climbing, but they aren't all over the place at warp speed.
