I'm planning to build a terrarium and would like to get some crabs, lizards, shrimps, snails and insects. My question is whether the entire terrarium could be balanced so that I no longer need external feeders. So, lizards eat young crabs, and crabs eat young lizards and shrimp. This creates a nearly closed cycle. Is…
What does the term "tolerance" mean? Does it mean that the different crab species can tolerate the salinity and thus survive? Attached is the illustration.
Do crabs tend to dig their holes near or far from the sea and why?
Hello 🙂 I have had two panther crabs since October. 1 male (smaller) and 1 female (larger). Well, four days ago I noticed that the male was missing his right, last hind leg. I don't know if it was the female (she likes to chase the poor guy around the aquarium, especially when there's food)…
