So cute. Crabs "cuddling"

Post by AleyedtoBuggie » Sun Mar 13, 2016 5:50 am

The little one is my first crab Buggie, the big one is Violet. I bought Violet at petco about a week ago. I've been worried they weren't getting along, because the first night Violet climbed on top on Buggie and appeared to be going for the opening of the shell with his pincher. I dunked him, Violet, in the saltwater bowl and no incidents since. Tonight I go check on them and this! Neither seems to be bothered by this position lol. Image

Sometimes on colder mornings I'll find my 2 crabs cuddling by the heater in a shallow dip, it's too cute. Violet has such pretty colorings

Mine only do that when it's cold. They will bury together close to the heater. Otherwise they don't, but they are adorable!!!

I worried that maybe they are cold, but they are on the other side of the heater. We'll were. Buggie is burrowed inside the stairhide(You can see the back of it as the green object) Violet is pretty...he's almost all purple except the very tips of his legs. One leg is reddish orange, you can see it in the pic. He's got such thick legs compared to Buggie!
