Thanks! I think I got it from Amazon as a bird toy. I actually thought it would be a lot smaller, so I couldn't use it in my 20 gallon. When I upgraded to this 40 gallon, it fit perfectly!

So we got a bad hail storm last night....and crabbie central showed effects!! They must have gone crazy in the tank last night with climbing toys knocked over, food everywhere.
Cleaned up this morning & plan to put a good food treat in for them tonight.

So glad I decided to just go ahead and put Kelp and Clare in the 20g temp tank! They have been digging like crazy. I'm literally smoothing out sub daily. I have a feeling at least one of them will soon be going down to molt.

I was cutting up cucumber for my Syrian hamster last night and decided to give a piece to the crabs. Charles Paris, my little guy, was the only one above ground and he immediately snatched the cucumber and was trying to drag it to the back of the tank. The piece was as large as he is so he ended up grasping an edge with his small pincher and pushed it in front of him, peddling madly, until he reached the "safety" of the back of the tank where he could eat it unmolested. He was so thrilled with the cucumber, he didn't even care that I stood there and watched the whole episode!
PPs are Big Enzo, Charles Paris and Mr Pinch
On the Big Beach in the Sky: Murray, Gino, Oscar, Gordon, Ignatz, Harry and King Felix the Pale
Also Mom to Imogene the Syrian Hamster
