As far as I can tell Mr crabs has been wheeling it for two days, nearly non stop! It’s the same crab in my last wheel picture.

I don't have a picture but mine LOVE their wheel. First night I put it in, I woke up to one in it. Now I see somebody in it daily, at least.
(Also see a ton of poop in mine too lol)

I love watching them on the wheel! They go at it for hours, lol. Here’s a few screen shots from night vision videos...

This is Sandy spinning Hermione around from her back, on the sub...it seems so intentional.

Striking very similar poses, haha.

Hitching a ride!

This one is probably my favorite bc I love it when she sticks her leg out to use it as a brake. Image

They really do love this thing! I have some pretty funny videos of them flying around on it, lol.
