And also, over the weekend I had a bunch of crabs go underground so the tank looks like a bunch of tunnels. Is it ok to fill them in?

Its probably best to leave them alone in case they want to go back up that way

Mine have holes that they constantly reuse. I never fill them in. :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com

Strawberries are the cutest but how did ypu get your hands on them? I've only ever seen PP's in pet stores even E's are hard to find
I ordered some online (bad me). If you have a buddy who can accept a package for you on a Thursday, pm me and I'll share the site (unless I'm allowed to flat out say they came from x store outside the appropriate topic)

Dinner Time for the crabs. Tamatoa takes up almost the entire food bowl so Squirt has to take what he can from the sidesImage

When crabs are down molting, and there is no activity in the tank, us crabbers refer to our crabitats as pet sand Image
