Rocks

[Just Jay]

Thanks guys. I'm looking to buy a bigger sized rock that the crabs can climb, I'm buying things to completely redo the set up in spring when the weather is nicer. Got some barnacles today, crossing my fingers and my toes it's safe to use. Here is a pic in case someone doesn't see my big post

thats so cool! where did you get barnacles?

i just make sure i boil rocks and dont get any that arent natural for the above reasons.

I found them at joann fabrics. I was so excited and they were only 5 bucks

Pretty much all rocks are game. I tend too stick with the vinegar method, not bubbling then its safe... and if its fish safe, its crab safe.

The vinegar thing is to ensure there aren't calcium deposits that'll leech into the water, hardening it & throwing off your chemistry. I doubt that would be a problem for land crab enclosures.

And to give it a good wash too... As many things don't respond well to acids/bases, it often does help.
(And I like my rocks to be inert... or close to it, so I know that nothing leeches into the surrounding environment,)
