taking crabs out of tank?
My crab george really likes to come out, and claws at the glass whenever he sees me. Ive taken him out to run around twice, only for a few munutes at a time. Im wondering how long can they be out safely? Im worried about damaging his gills. (Temp in house is approx 65-70 and humidity in house is approx 50%)

I would say, keep it under 30 minutes or so.

Agree with Calla, maybe build it up slowly so he can get use to it?CallaLily wrote:I would say, keep it under 30 minutes or so.

Ive been taking him out for 5 minutes at a time, up to twice a day (depending on if hes crawling up the glass appearing to try to get out of the tank, or is just generally active and wandering around) and maybe after a week or so will get him out for 10 minutes at a time.
