Ok so this next one cracked me up really bad; she positioned the shell so her opening hangs over the edge, just enough she can hang out the front too without having to hold her shell lol. Idk why I just thought it funny as heck! Image

Lol, my big girl, Hermione, used to wedge her shell under one of her tree hut hides so she could just hang out and not have to hold up her shell! It made me lol every time! I would worry that one day she was gonna wedge it in there so good that she’d get stuck...never did though. They know what they’re doing...and they’re so funny!

Zoom in on the guy in the wheel. He's cleaning his shell out.

Exciting news! I went on a vacation for a few days, and when I came back, I saw all 3 of my crabs were above sand! I got to upgrade the tank that very night, and they went crazy. They explored every inch and were frolicking around together all morning as the sun came up. They have this curl of birch bark that they roll each other around in. It's funny. I think they like the upgrade. 😁
