Flashing lights?

Post by sunflower_crabitat » Sat Jul 01, 2023 6:14 pm

My power is off and on right now so my lights are flickering quite a bit, is that damaging to them? It's not 24/7 just every 10 or so minutes they seem to flash. Please help!

If you want to temporarily turn them off, it won't hurt the crabs. That way the crabs won't think they're having a disco party lol! Might keep the lights from blowing out too if there's electricity surges happening.

Gotcha, but the flashing that did happen won't hurt them? Just might confuse/agitate them?

Nah, they'll be ok. Just think if they were in the wild, they'd experience thunderstorms/lightning that would be similar. Image
