Yarn Climbing Net

Post by saoi » Thu Nov 28, 2024 8:37 pm

I've seen many DIY stuff, but many of them look very natural colorwise. Can bright colors be used in their tanks too or does it stress them out of something??

I think it might be more because of the dyes than the bright colors. This is because the dyes might be toxic. I'm no expert though. :)
I love my two cool crabs Zote and Fizban.

Dyed synthetic fibers from yarn may not be safe, especially if crabs pick them apart. Dyed wool may be safe, but the wool will break down pretty quickly in the heat and humidity. That's why you will often see things like natural jute cord etc used.
