My crabby Calypso

Post by Kitkat7 » Wed Feb 13, 2019 6:00 pm

I've had Calypso for ten years. Recently she lost her crabby friend Stitch, so in the near future I will be looking to adopt/buy one or two new crabs to keep her company. Anyway, she loves dried oak leaves, long walks across the tank, ingenious escape attempts, drops of honey, and wiggling antennae with other crabs. She just emerged from a molt a few days ago so she has been a hungry crab!

Very cute! One morning I found my biggest crab climbing the wire which was outside the tank

Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
Crabbing for 4 years!

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your other crab, that always stinks :(
Calypso is a big beauty though, and an close escapee!

Thank you! Nice, yeah I'm sure my roommate would have had a scare if he came home and found a crab hauling butt around the apartment. :lol:

Thank you! I hope to get Calypso a new friend before too long. For the time being she (I actually don't know the sex) has been busy chowing down on the new crab patch food I ordered. So far it's a hit.
