Do you think my crabs will use this?

Post by PeekaBoo2013 » Tue Dec 31, 2019 2:37 pm

So I found this spider wood at Petco in the reptile section. It looks super fun, but I think the branches might be too thin for my larger crabs? I've only had crabs for maybe 2 months. And they climb on top of the little houses I've built them and on top of the Cholla wood that I have. But I have two crabs that are in shells with openings at least one inch, so I'm not sure if they'd be able to hold on and climb up the wood. Anyone have any thoughts? I do have a little of crab in maybe a half inch opening who I'm sure would love it. Thank youImage

I find with crabs, the twigger it gets, the more willing they are to climb it.

I would give it a try, sometimes my crabs surprise me with what they can climb on!

I actually have a couple of decent-sized crabs and they climb on a branch I have in there with plenty of other smaller branches and twigs that come off of it.
