Second levels
For those of you with ledges and second levels in your tank, what do you have up there? I'm considering a corner shelf in my 80 upgrade for their food and calcium dishes, but I'm wondering if they'll find it? I'm sure in the wild their food isn't always on the bottom level in a nice bowl... so it should be okay right? Lol

Re: Second levels
That was my question when I put their food on the 2nd level. But they found their food. I just had to make sure they could back up and get away if another crab is scooting them away.ciaraalston wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 10:18 pmFor those of you with ledges and second levels in your tank, what do you have up there?

Good point, I'll make sure there's plenty of room.Hermiesguardian wrote: That was my question when I put their food on the 2nd level. But they found their food. I just had to make sure they could back up and get away if another crab is scooting them away.

Re: Second levels
I have the most amateur second level - it's a plastic container turned upside down, with a hole cut so they could use it as a hide. I glued shells to the sides so they can climb up and down, and a soap caddy on the top so it has small 'sides' on it. There is nothing up there, but they seem to love it and spend a LOT of time up there hanging out together.

That’s not amateur, that sounds awesome!curlysister wrote:I have the most amateur second level - it's a plastic container turned upside down, with a hole cut so they could use it as a hide.

Re: Second levels
I had done that before. I zip tied burlap to the top so they would have traction.curlysister wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 10:59 pmI have the most amateur second level - it's a plastic container turned upside down, with a hole cut so they could use it as a hide.

I have had pets in the past, but my family can’t have any furry or feathered ones due to allergies. I usually try my best to help and currently trying to set up a crabitat. I also try to treat others with Love!❤️
