Re: Coconut Crabs
I LOVE them! My dream is to meet one someday and give him a gold (fake) watch. Apparently they are called robber crabs because they like to steal shiny things and bury them. How can anyone not find that cute?

You have antelope?!? Where are you from lol?!? Im in fl so only swamp animals here!Shawn wrote:I think they're pretty cool but you'd need a crabitat the size of a two car garage! Some day I'd like to see them in the wild and maybe feed them some snacks and take some pics or video. Not likely since the only wildlife in my area are deer, antelope, rabbits and wild horses.

Re: Coconut Crabs
I know that someone that lived around them did keep one as a pet in his fenced off yard for a while. But that only worked because it was the crabs natural habitat I imagine. I had no idea there were any enclosures with these guys. The US is the last place I'd expect to find them.

My plans as well!wolfnipplechips wrote:You can import them for food. I planned if I ever won a lottery and set up my dream crabitat (industrial sized greenhouse turned into half jungle half beach), I'd order a couple. They are so neat!
I don't rob people!
