Adopting 2 crabs, introductions???

Post by Pete »

I currently have 2 small PP's in a 10 gallon crabitat. A co-worker just dropped off 2 medium crabs (unkown species - won't come out of their shells). What do I need to do to introduce them into my crabitat? I've only been doing this for a few months now, would appreciate any/all help.

Thanks,
Pete

People have suggested bathing them together.

Thanks, That is probably real good advice. I wasn't sure if there should be some transition time for changes in food or anything else.

I realized after I posted this that this isn't the right forum for this question. Sorry! I looked for this type of question but didn't see a good fit for it. Any suggestions for the future?
