Re: What are your crabs up to?
Peace is overrated but holes and full on canyons making my tank look like the surface of the moon are awful. He will come up beautiful in a few months and until then hopefully minimal damage.

Cheers to that!
Thumbelina decided it was time to strut her stuff tonight. Caught some cute pictures.
Love that tiny red leg! Doesn't slow her down a bit!

Re: What are your crabs up to?
For the past two nights I've only had two up. out of EIGHT.
Big guy's been missing for atleast a week, all three of the Steve's have been MIA for 3 days (they're never all up at the same time, not even sure how many steve's I own). Kermit's been MIA for three days, and little guy hasn't been spotted in a week. After writing it down I REALLY don't know how many I own. I can remember seven, but i sorta remember getting a petsmart crab besides Little dude, but I really can't tell anymore.
But Spring and Disco dude are really enjoying the whole tank to themselves, they got shrimp tails and meat last night and it was all for them!

Re: What are your crabs up to?
Thanks! She was TINY when I brought her home! And actually that's her new leg! When I bought her she had a nice gel bud and immediately went down as soon as she bit the sand. Came back up with the little red leg! So proud of the little onetykesanimalkingdom wrote:Love Thumbelina's name!

%&#%*&#&$*!
OK- *takes a breath*. Poseidon is officially down. We went upstairs for the night at 9. It is 11:43 now. There was nobody really sand covered or anything like that and there was still a big hole right where that corner of the Acropolis is. My gauge is almost in a hole again!!!
I swear... They are laughing at me. I know my husband is. Lol he heard me growl and then grumble as I came up the stairs. I gave him this same run down wanting to know who on earth is doing this. I used my hands to show him how big the hole is. He laughed - hard - and said it was all the little ones tag teaming the digging just to drive me nuts.
Ugh...he might be right. Ares sure doesn't like me.

I do too lol except I don't have sizes, but I do record their molt dates. I keep track of how many and when they happen. And a journal to keep track of anything important happening in the tank. Yeah... I like my crabs.

Re: What are your crabs up to?
I have pics lol. Most on my tablet.
Check off roster for who I see daily.detail roster
calendar shows which days I logged attendance.
crab detail pages.
Plus a calendar page for each crab showing when I logged them so when they are MIA it will show that. I also have a paper journal that I write down important notes for the day.

Re: What are your crabs up to?
My largest E has found amusement digging around during the day making a mess out of the substrate, coming up at night and annoying me in the process. Make up your mind, up or down...!?
