Anyone else keep claws?
My crabs never seem to want to eat their large claw after a molt, so I usually keep them to see how much they've grown.
My oldest crab has gone through 4 molts with me and there is a big difference from the claw from his first molt and how large his current claw is now.
Does anyone else do this or am I just a weirdo?

All I found from my guys was a very small piece of the BP and a few tiny pieces of exo. They ate the rest. That is a cool idea, tho, if they don't eat them but from what I've read on this site I think most of the guys eat theirs.

Good idea, Dodgydutch! I think I'll start doing that.

Wow, you guys are really on top of things! Saving one for emergencies is also a very good idea. How did you end up with an extra, though? Did someone not eat theirs? If that happens, what do you do?
