Feeding behavior

Post by Tetra8CClyPeatus »

I am pondering whether this topic should be on either food or behaviors.

But I have a question based of feeding habits and seasons.
Do the crabs tend to eat less in the summer and eat more in the winter?
And is it normal
I have been seeing this feeding behavior pattern in my crabs

Well I think the eat more when they are "more" active... And in summer (when it is hotter) they would eat more due to the becoming more active - if that makes sence...?
