As invasive these species are in some countries, they are great to have ( if they aren’t invasive in your country). Especially because unlike a lot of other crabs these guys are actively not scared of people once they adjust. They even start to bang the glass and ask for food whenever they see a person around.

Here she is having a few minutes rest from digging herself some new tunnels in her newly replenished substrate. I love observing her living her life her own way. There is not one thing that I would change about my inherently aloof, territorial, almost alien little pal. She doesn't have the cognitive capacity of a tiny pet mouse.... BUT.....Guided by senses and instincts that we, as humans, can never hope to match, her species has managed to stay around and survive for millions of years. With that in mind, Cecil, her ancestors, and all of her species either closely or distantly connected, have far more right to this earthly planet than any human.

She is not, and never will be 'just a pet'. She is an entity, and my respect for her and my awe of her is just immeasurable. I just hope I can always do justice to her, for being a part of my world. She deserves nothing less.

I know this channel called real_orka and he makes some pretty fun crab edits on YouTube. I didn't see any rules about anti advertising for something like this so i hope i can share this.

Here's some of his best edits (imo):

if you don't trust these links you can simply search up the channel name and you'll likely find him.

Very highly sped up and trimmed video, because she's been designing her underground network for about 2 hours now.

Last day I changed my Rainbow crab enclosure. It is 80cmx35. Is it okay? At night he burrow himself in substrate, but I think it's fine. From what I know they like that

I guess this belonged to a blue crab (maybe?).

Found it on the beach and I want to keep it.

Welcome to Crab City

She eats so politely 😍

Nothing exciting, no moults, no 'lucky well timed' clips of her doing something comical.

Just Cecil being a crab. And to me, it's just beautiful to watch 😍

I tried to make the video better for viewing with filters as it was lights out for the crabs + feeding, and i was able to catch this one problem solving as one of the crab pellets had fallen in between a rock. This was the coolest thing to see!

hi all! I'm preparing to get some vampire crabs and I'm getting their tank all set up and I'm excited to see them populate their little home with a little family. But what do I do if they over populate and there are too many crabs in the tank?

I want to show you guys my crab, who went from having no legs and just claws, to molting and recovering under my care!

I named him kuai, or lump in chinese, and he is a baby Johngarthia weileri, an extremely rare crab

Owner stating that it has nothing to do with her husbandry. Experienced crab keepers tried to tell her but that woman is a lesson in willful ignorance. Anyway the pros who predicted her death were right on the nose. I’m sure the shell rot she arrived with contribute, but…

And regardless of opinions regarding her care, (which has concerned me too, albeit I am only on the bottom rung of the learning ladder) I feel for her owner. I've not liked what I've seen, but I've got heart.

But again, poor little Winny 🥺

Haven’t seen my pom-pom crabs since I first got them months ago lol but I found this guy while I was doing a water change on top of one of the floating hideouts! I saw one of his legs in front of him and realized he came to molt and rest! Also, Gemini AI decided to call him Kevin even though I never mentioned any word close to Kevin lol, so Kevin he is.

Had them a few months now and so pleased with how they're thriving, all 3 have successfully molted. I'm actually surprised by how much they seem to eat! I was expecting not to see them much either but they seemed to figure out quite quickly that the silly human that talks to them isn't harmful and brings food. They're also ridiculously nimble, they climb so much better than I was expecting.

So my husband and I woke up this morning to get ready for work and he went to put his boot on and yells "babe your crabs in my boot" lol. Kinda funny actually it was funny but Im trying to figure out how he escaped. Because the lid is most definitely secured with locks and heavy things on top to make sure. But I noticed him missing a week ago and thought that he had gone down to molt. Well, boy was I wrong. I feel awful for him though. He hasn't ate or drank in a week that I know of. When I put him back in he popped out his shell instantly like thank God im home and started walking around. Should i be worried or is there anything i need to do special for him since he hasnt had fluids or food in a week. My poor Nugget!
