What is their temp and humidity? That's a big one for their activity levels. The warmer and wetter they are, the more explorative and outgoing they will be.

I personally recommend modified hamster wheels. I have two in my 100 gallon, one in my 75 gallon and one in my 55 gallon. They all get used...sometimes by more than one crab at a time :)

Crabs walk miles in the wild. Let them do that in your environment as well :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com

I have a female that spends her free time trying on countless shells! =) She's got a closet full but loves to try them on ;-)
