Over crowded?

Post by jdauby09 » Thu Aug 10, 2017 7:12 pm

Is my tank over crowded with things to climb on...they have pretty well the entire floor bed to walk on and then all the way around the top of the tank is different items for them to climb on and bury down in moss...I need to buy more moss though... I have a 55 gal tall tank with 11 PP small to large size...sorry my picture quality sticks!ImageImageImageImageImageImage

WOW, happy crab land. It's neat. Wish my tank were taller. At some point may switch it with the snakes tank as hers is the taller of the two and she doesn't use the top half at all.

Very organized! I love your ball themed suction cups!... As long as you can get to things such as food and water dishes, I'd say it's okay. You may want to change it up from time to time just so they don't get bored with it.

I *see it as a way of them getting their exercise since I don't see a hamster wheel. Remember they walk miles in the wild ;)

I don't think it's overcrowded at all! I think it's a lovely second level. I would be weary of the metals used in the tank, though.

They have a coating over it but I am gonna keep a close eye on the wire baskets to make sure the hold up ok otherwise I will fingers something else, but the we're only $1 each so I thought it was worth a try...

I have that same corner shelf thing, i zip tied climbing background to both levels, and fishnet around the back. They spend 75% of their time on that thing :)
