Crabs climbing in a cluster

Post by Crabnado » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:32 pm

We have 7 crabs. Usually don't see more than 3 out at once. Right now 4 of them are out and they've all climbed to the highest point of the tank in a cluster. They often take turns sitting in the hammock up there but I've never seen 4 together all at once. It's a crab slumber party.

What's your weather like? I have read that before storms some of them climb like the would in the wild. Pretty neat if that's what happened.

Mine cluster together a lot. I haven't really noticed a pattern with the weather. I have even seen them walking in a little line, which is absolutely adorable.
