I'm going to do a tank cleaning soon but I'm a little surprised to say I think all 10 of my crabs are up... Which is awesome so watch- but they also destroy my tank lol. I'm thinking I need to do a little reorganizing in there... I'm addicted to rearranging their tank every month or so. I feel like it gives them new stuff to do/see.
All kinds of crabby!

Ryry, I'm jealous! I wish I had 10 crabs up!

I went digging on November 6th (long story on why) and that night, when I had 16 crabs up (Biggie was in iso so he doesn't count) the tank was WILD. Clanking and food scattering and things knocked over...it was awesome! Then the next morning, all the crabs were gone again. Sigh. I want crazy tank parties!

Biggie is still cranky that his driftwood is gone, so he's parked on top of the cork round because he's too fat to fit inside. Last night he was determined to climb a vine that I use to try and hide the PVC pipe for my false bottom, and then once he made it to the top he was like "Wait..there's nothing to do up here." Then he climbed back down. :lol:

Ugh, don't remind me. I can't prove it's him, so for now I'll assume he's innocent and Legolas or Cersei are framing him ;)

My 2nd E came up from a molt. Waiting on my PP. Buzz is the latest one up and the "friendliest" he's the one who crawled onto my hand at the store. He's a little shy right now but at least he's up. Put out his favorite foods and protein.

I had about half for awhile. To go from 17 to 5 when I have 27 is just so not cool.

No kidding! That is pretty sad. Silly crabs. Don't they realize we just want some face time?
