Bully

Post by Sherman12 » Wed Jul 11, 2018 11:09 pm

One my crabs likes to bully the other. The bullied crab hasn’t shown itself recently compared to the the bully crab which is very active often. I know I shouldn’t dig them out. Should I just wait and be optimistic?

Edit Fixed it to shouldn’t

Agreed. If a crab is buried, don't dig!

You would never want to dig unless there is a flood, as mentioned or ants or other similar creatures
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
Crabbing for 4 years!
