I can't blame Spiderman for doing this, I am the one to blame. Its my fault that I put their favorite digging spot next to their bowls I am sorry. Better clean out their bowl cuz guess who needs to refill their bowl everyday because eco earth is soaking it up... me

The water bowls are small because my crabs really hate getting into the water all the way

Just my 2¢ but just because you don't necessarily see them going all the way into the water does not mean that they don't. I know space is at a premium in all tanks, but I would really try to get a deeper bowl.

Their bowls are deep so that they can submerge. From the top it looks shallow but it is not I promise. I would never give them bowls that they can not submerge (I have in the past and I regret that) I so normally give them big and deep dishes but for the time being I am giving them small but deep dishes. thank you for your concern!

Ahh, now I see what you mean. I also have a small, but deep for my SW and am going to be moving my FW to a smaller, but deep container. I just added a waterfall which they seem to be in love with.

I saw videos on YouTube about the waterfalls and I'm in love with them, they are expensive where I go. Being a billionaire would be cool.

That would be cool, but I would be broke with all the amazing enclosures I would make for my pets lol. I lucked out and found my waterfall at a good will, it was in a very old 30g tanks along with a tri-bulb light hood and some AMAZING giant wood fixtures. All for $6.
I am still very nervous about the water fall, the crabs freaked out exploring it, but I keep envisioning a flood.
