possibly because i attended the university last year and it is sorta token when in the vet school you go to the functions  well for the fun people anyway. hahah nothing beats fac day though. bobing for a chuppa chump in dog food is somethign i will never forget plus feedign a blind folded person cat food is always fun.
but yes crabs. im sure they msut have some sort of cream that will help you :p i'd stay away form the second years from now on hahahhahahahah
but yeah on a serious note the crabs are cool, did they end up spending most of their time in the water?

Yeah they're all in the water, I think because I can't find any of them! Wasn't home last night, but mum said they were scrabbling around alot so perhaps they come out onto land for the night, and spend the days in the water...? I'm still working out feeding and stuff... Really want my filter to work because the water is going to get filthy quickly.

Cool, I wish i had crabs now 
A sponge filter would be the best option(also need an air pump) IMO http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/sponge_filters.php
Seems like the do like spending a fair bit of time on the land. I would be interested to hear more about their behaviour etc. after they have settled in etc.

Everyone is so excited to hear about my crabs!
cris - have bought a little sponge filter, but it doesn't have an air pump (I got the smallest as the water area is only little). I'll angle the water output up, so it stirs the surface up a little and hopefully helps aerate the water! At the moment they all sit in the water all day and hide under logs etc. At night they venture onto the land a little, but not as much as I was hoping (perhaps still a little nervous?) If I give them carrot on the end of forceps they attack with vigour! I hope this isn't a sign they're starving, 'cause the food is on the land..

Hahahaha yes, they are cute! I've been feeding them with the forceps for fun and they launch themselves at them! Yeah the pedes have blue legs, but they'll grow out of it I think...
A few piccies I took today.
This first one is Zoidberg and Zoidberg eating a rolled bran thing and a sultana. 
Here Zoidberg (one of the small ones) is holding a piece of shredded coconut. These two photos are without and with flash.   |
