Itches??

Post by CCCSilva » Mon Mar 02, 2015 8:36 am

My crab has been "itching" her legs whenever I see her..
She is just grooming herself right?
She rubs her legs together like she has an itch.

When my crabs wipe food or dirt off their eye with an antenna is super cute awe

It creeps me out. I think it was YYWW and I that had discussed it but my memory sucks because of my seizures, anyway that it looks like they are eating their eyes.

I have looked in on my crabs and thought they were missing eyes because I caught them mid-cleaning. They are so amazing sometimes, it's hilarious to watch them.
