Finally!
Finally!
After crabbing for seven years, I finally have one that I think will eventually take food from my hand. "Green" is a jumbo and may be one of the originals. I was able to place a shrimp tail in front of him and leave my hand there while he started to eat. This morning he stayed still while I place a bit of prune next to him. He also turned toward my hand after I set mashed potato next to him. Woohoo!

Woohoo, indeed! Most of us are thrilled when a crab doesn't backpedal like mad as soon as we come near the tank

PPs are Big Enzo, Charles Paris and Mr Pinch

Yay it's always fun to hand feed! My jumbo kraken and my large victor will both take from me if I offer them something yummy! It takes a little patiences, but if you get yummy treats they tend to be more open to taking them.

He took a chicken bone from me last night. He actually started to eat while I was holding it. He was on the upper level, and he dropped it once and stayed still until I picked it up and gave it back to him.
