Crab breaks load bearing stick
Crab breaks load bearing stick
I have a small platform holding a few shells and just blank space. It is suspended against the glass by some twine and two skewers. When I came back to check on the crabs, the skewers were snapped and the shells had fallen from the platform. I noticed that a crab was wearing a shell that was up on the platform. Perhaps he was too lazy to go up and change up there? It's funny because I've seen them up there plenty of times, including times that they've changed shells up there. He probably got lazy and snapped the thin sticks with brute strength, just to get the shells down. Was he being smart or just trying to annoy me? I suppose I'll never find out.

LOL, do you think he may have been picking at the supports? I just imagine a crab picking at the supports and suddenly, wow magical shells! And he decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

Yes, *sigh*. I have replaced the supports with more twine, I couldn't imagine them trying to break twine, however anything's possible. We'll see what happens.
I bet he got pretty freaked out when those shells came falling down on him. We can only speculate.
