at night

Post by Crabby Kortney »

Has anyone stayed up to watch there crabs at night? Isn't is amazing what they do? Its like they all have a mission that they want to fulfull. My crabs tank is on my nightside table so at night i can hear them makeing there way around (very noisely ^) ). Sometime if they wake me up i turn on the light and they freeze like they had been doing something bad. its alot of fun watching eh?

I've tried that too! I didn't stay up too late though, but I did catch one of mine drinking in the rock pool.

I usually stay up late, but on the first night the leggo loft was in, I stayed up exxxtra late to make sure it'd be ok... about 2 am, BOTH of my crabs went up to take a look around, it was awesome!

Aw! Lucky you! (well, not the waking up at 3 AM) That's cool! I wish my hermies chirped. Is it like a bird or is that rusty, squeaky, rumbling noise? ^)

I just got my hermies yesterday...but I stayed up nearly the entire time last night. They knew eachother from their previous home, so I didn't have to worry about them not getting along...but what you DO need to watch out for is how they 'redecorate'! They moved EVERYTHING around in their habitat! It was C.R.A.Z.Y! *LAUGHS*
