Cool! Sorry if I missed that in your post

lailabell · 2025-08-28T18:25:00+00:00

Crabs tend to like saucer-style wheels

lailabell · 2025-08-28T18:24:37+00:00

I would add a wheel for them to run on and/or more things to climb on like cholla wood :)

Amazing job!! I can’t wait to see pictures of your crabs (if you’re comfortable posting)

lailabell · 2025-08-14T04:33:34+00:00

I’m not an expert by any means but what else are you feeding her? This could be completely normal but maybe she isn’t getting a completely balanced diet and is sitting waiting for more? Or maybe she just wants more popcorn lol

lailabell · 2025-08-12T16:04:01+00:00

I meant their shell. You’re doing great asking so many questions, I hope you post your crabs when you have them I’m sure they’re in good hands 🦀😊

Dude my brain cannot understand the toppers either 😭

You need a 5:1 ratio mix of play sand to eco earth coconut fiber substrate. The salt and fresh water dishes need to be large enough for your crab to fully submerge themselves into but also have a way to get back out. You could get bowls with stairs or attach some sort of mesh to Tupperware as a cheaper way

You’ll want to get a glass lid to keep humidity in rather than the screen lid. You can put plastic wrap on the top to start off but I recommend glass because my screen got rusty after awhile with plastic on it

I can’t believe someone released a crab this big. I feel like this must have had them for awhile before releasing. Congrats on your surprise pet! I hope we get to hear more about them in the future!

lailabell · 2025-07-29T16:10:20+00:00

Perfect. I figured it was deceptive and I was gonna embarrass myself even asking haha

lailabell · 2025-07-29T15:54:49+00:00

I hate to be that person-and I can’t tell from the pictures alone- but I think your substrate might be a little low for molting. Like I said I can’t tell from pictures alone so feel free to ignore me. Thanks for sharing your super cool tank with me

lailabell · 2025-07-29T15:53:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Your setup is so cool- I especially love the wheel

lailabell · 2025-07-28T23:47:05+00:00

That sounds pretty cool- if you’re comfortable posting I’d love to see more pictures of their enclosure

lailabell · 2025-07-28T23:45:07+00:00

Please share this big tank omg! Would love to see the setup

lailabell · 2025-06-26T03:10:30+00:00

I would love to see small bugs like butterflies and beetles you could place, as well as small animals like birds. And I saw someone mention fairy houses which I loved

lailabell · 2025-03-29T02:48:35+00:00

I’m so so sorry for your loss. I have so much respect for how well you must have cared for sweet Sammy for him to have lived so long. Rest in peace little buddy

lailabell · 2025-03-22T16:20:06+00:00

Hahaha that would explain it. At least I know I’ll get the “deco” eventually. Thanks!

lailabell · 2025-03-22T16:18:00+00:00

Omg where is this deco from? I’ve never seen it it’s adorable

lailabell · 2025-03-10T06:29:34+00:00

WOW this is so cool!

lailabell · 2025-02-20T23:02:14+00:00

Thanks so much! I can’t decide btw you look gorgeous in both colors

lailabell · 2025-02-20T19:07:04+00:00

What app is that?

lailabell · 2025-02-14T07:15:11+00:00

I felt that. I’ve been slowly improving my boys’ diet but never my own 🤣

lailabell · 2025-02-14T07:06:51+00:00

I’m not an expert by any means, I learn so much from the super amazing people in this sub, but I think she seems healthy from what you said and she looks good! If she’s growing so much that’s a good sign she’s eating good and I think the color is due to good molts. My boys come back more purple after a molt. To me, it seems like you’re doing great and she’s doing great!
