Brendan | Photos of the entire enclosure is under a thread called 'Crab Tank' in 'Other Animals'. I think I have about 12 in there (ordered 10 but some were small so I got extras).. It's amazing how well they escape the surface because I can only find about 5 at any one time. If they breed they breed (and I think I'd be the only person to do that in captivity...?) but if they don't I'm not fussed. Still working the kinks out of feeding etc. |

Anyway... Crabs. |  | | |
