HELP! My crawdad escaped last night!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Haha my dad told me a story about how one of their crayfish they had escaped. He said theirs escaped and they couldn’t find it anywhere for a couple of days. When they did found it it was in their washing machine. Turns out my mom had washed the thing twice and it still survived! I have a crawfish now in my 110 gallon tank and he’s escaped twice... to the same exact spot in my basement! It’s a little hole in the concrete that allows water to drain into the ground beneath it and the little bugger has been in there both times
 
I know that this is an old thread, but I think that crayfish have some sort of ability to be able to head straight towards water. Any time we have ever found them and put them down, even completely out of sight of water, they always turn and head straight towards the water...even if it’s over 100ft away.

Also, I have found them under rocks on creek beds that had been dried for months. They were still alive even though there had been no water for several months.
