Red Claw Crabs Info!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It doesn't matter how escape proof you attempt to make your tank, they will get out. I swear, they can pass through the glass if they really want to! They are fascinating though...

One time I awoke to the sound of one my cats yelping. A Red Claw had escaped the tank and apparently my cat investigated it and got pinched. Both cat and crab were ok but it was funny! Cats always deserve it...
 
I agree with the escape proofing! they are crazy little buggers. they love chilling out on rocks and logs that are out of the water.
 
i lov my fiddlers but they have a habit of goin for a walk
 
They are brackish creatures. Being in fresh water / no access to land both will shorten their lifespan a bit. Mine loved fresh earthworms and any flake/pellet food it could get it's claws on.
