Odd Running Behavior

Post by hermiwormi » Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:33 pm

Sometimes when I open the lid and reach into the crabitat to change out food, mist, etc, I catch a crab or two doing a weird backwards walk-run or walking/running sideways. It's really funny, honestly.

Haha my biggest crab used to do that whenever I would walk into the room - she’d always run backwards into her hut

It's so funny! They remind me of chimps when they do that
