lmsmith Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I went on a crab hunt today to feed my puffers, but I'm a bit worried they'll get nipped while eating them. Do I need to de claw them? If so, how do I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 the puffers learn quickly to declaw the crabs, amazing to watch them take the weaponry off the crab first start off with small crabs that can't inflict too much damage are they the shoreline crabs another way is to pierce the crab first to kill it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I put a live crab in tonight (it only had really tiny claws) and they got its legs off really quick. It was some sort of crab that I found right on the shore (not sure of the name). The ones I'm worried about are fiddler crabs with their massive claws. I think I'll just have to put the smallest one I found in first. I want to put them in live; it's sick, but way more fun to watch, and it helps stop them from getting bored too.
