Hello, first time crab owner, already have crabs molting

Post by flapjack » Wed Jan 06, 2016 7:08 pm

My son got a crab for Christmas from his cousin, we bought a few more, two of them are already dug in. They are very fun to watch. The crab came in a very small container, with some wood chips. I wanted to treat the crab properly so I did some research and set him up with a nice tank and some friends. I'm looking forward to reading this forum to learn about these crabs
