Hyper speed E?

Post by kuza » Sat Aug 04, 2012 1:32 pm

Does anyone have an E that kind of does everything at double the speed of the other? I have this one that almost dances in the moss pit floor, I'm not sure what he's doing when he does this but it's like he's freaking out. However he seems "normal" in that he does everything my other crabs do but he moves in stutter type jerky movements almost all the time. I also notice he walks, climbs, cleans himself all really fast in these quick jerky movements. He's not fluid movement like the other crabs.

It's very odd and I'm worried he's got some sort of birth defect or something.

I will try to get his moss pit antics on film but he stops when I open the top.

Brink is like that!!! He's very jerky with his movements. Last night he RAN across the tank and then stopped almost at the end and just sat there feeling around, then darted back to the other side. Sometimes I wonder if he forgets what he wanted to do when he finally reaches a place. XD He's also a hyper-speed eater. He'll go to the dish, double-claw all of the food he wants to eat, packs it down, and moves out like a ninja crabbie. =)

omg poor bonkers! I saw him on the front cholla up against the glass so I went and grabbed the camera, however I was eating an ice cream and as I went to start recording I dropped it. The camera banged off the glass on the way to the floor and bonkers, the crazy crab, leaped backward off the cholla and landed on his back on the ground, then he ran off and high speed and dug a high speed hole to put his face into.... I'm so sorry little guy!
