About this item
DESCRIPTION

Red clawed crabs are fun, fascinating little creatures that make great pets for your home or classroom. They are easy and economical to care for and their crabby antics like climbing, digging, molting and shell switching are as entertaining as they are educational.

These crabs love to climb, so be sure to have a secure lid on your habitat. They use fine hairs on their legs to scavenge for food in their bedding or substrate. One of the most fascinating features of these critters is molting, or shedding their outside skin in order to grow. Be sure to provide lots of hiding places like rocks or driftwood so they have plenty of places to hide and feel secure.
