Making a mess

Post by Prosati » Fri Feb 22, 2019 10:26 pm

Looks like on of my PP’s, the biggest named Roll, has been doing some remodeling as he may have tried to bury an empty big shell. In the process he got substrate into a salt water dish causing it to drain out....

My biggest has been doing that the past few days, except with the freshwater. I have so many holes I barely have room for their food dishes anymore.

I read someplace on here in the past that if crabs do not like a shell they may bury it. Being in an enclosed area It is hard to say if Roll was digging and the shell accidentally got in the way or he really didn't like it.

That's why they bury them?? How rude. What if someone else would want it.
