Hiding ?

Post by citiliviey » Sat Feb 21, 2015 10:38 pm

I remodeled my tank and gave my crabbies some fake leaves to feel more "natural" . And they are all in it but 3 ! Practically all the time, they are in their or over there . Are they okay ? Also, is there a way to get them to be more social ?ImageImageImageImage

Relax lol they are fine. *hug* They feel safe in the plants so they hangout there. Give them time. The longer you have them the more they will get uses to you typically. Some are always shy.
#1 rule of crabbing - crabs are weird.
#2 rule of crabbing - see above

They are fine :) Most crabs love fake leaves!! They climb and hide and sleep in them, sometimes they sleep while clinging on to them (even if they seem uncomfortable). After a re-model or adding new stuff my crabs will usually climb around and check it out. Just goes to show that they're interested :)

No problem! What's crabbing for if no to inform and learn.

They look super happy to be able to climb and be shaded at the same time and do it in a group! Lucky hermies!!! <3
