High Quality Crabitat
High Quality Crabitat
So here's my current crabitat. It's supposed to be like a beach. My saltwater dish seems too shallow to me so I might replace it soon. There are only two extra shells (both too large!) and I was panicking trying to find shells for my smaller crab (in the green turbo) because he seems really cramped. Luckily I discovered some solid sources and I'm awaiting an order of four more shells now. What do you guys think ?

I like the wood a lot! I would suggest adding a coco hut or similar as a hide. some fake plants would provide cover as well- maybe you can find some that look like palm trees to keep the beachy theme

Thanks for your suggestions! There is a hide, though it's not visible in the image. It's buried into the hill.

I like the wood too! What kind of wood is it? And I second the greenery. Ads an nice natural look and crabbies feel more secure.

Re: High Quality Crabitat
Definitely agree with adding some fake plants, it'd make them feel more secure while being out in the open.
Otherwise it looks good!

Re: High Quality Crabitat
Looks great! RE: fake plants, one great way yo get a TON of fake plants for amlost nothing is to buy fake plants at a craft store. Attach them to some suction cups or cut yourself a little log or piece of scrap wood and drill a little hole and stick them in for some standing plants
