How to raise crabs at home

1. When raising crabs at home, you need to use a basin. You can put some fine sand in the basin to form a small platform. The water for raising crabs should not be too deep. The best water depth is that the water steel can immerse the crab shell. You can use tap water for raising crabs, but you have to dry it for a day before you can use it.

2. Crabs can be exposed to the sun appropriately, but not for too long.

3. Crabs are omnivorous animals. If conditions permit, you can feed them red nematodes and egg yolks. Of course, crabs can also eat chicken and duck viscera or small fish and shrimp. At the same time, you should feed them some grass food. Pay attention to the amount of food you eat. You should finish eating within half an hour, otherwise the remaining food will pollute the water for breeding.

4. The feeding intensity of crabs increases or decreases with the change of seasons and water temperature. In summer and autumn, when the water temperature rises above 15℃, the feeding ability of crabs increases, and they should be fed once a day. When the water temperature drops below 15℃, the feeding ability of crabs decreases, and they can be fed every other day or every few days. The best time to feed is around dusk, because crabs are aquatic animals that hide during the day and come out at night.

5. Crabs are social animals. It is best to raise several crabs together, so that the survival rate is higher.

6. Clean the crabs. When cleaning the crabs, hold them with your hands, and then use a toothbrush with some shower gel or soap to clean them, especially in the corners, and hold their feet (don't use too much force) to brush. After the bath, rinse them with water, clean the fish tank, and occasionally sprinkle some salt, mainly to prevent infectious diseases.

7. Crabs are very stubborn when they first arrive in a strange environment. Starve them for a few days, then use tweezers to pick up a delicious food and shake it in front of their mouths. Then you will see them wolfing it down.

01. Speaking of raising crabs at home, most people would choose to raise them in a larger bathtub, but this requires us to strictly control the water quality.

02. Generally, the water used to raise crabs should be seawater, or the water quality in which the crabs originally live, otherwise the crabs will easily die.

03. Do not raise too many crabs in the same space. First, it is a problem of space density. Second, if there are too many crabs, they may easily compete for food or mates.

04. So if we have the conditions to raise crabs, it is best to have a lake or a piece of land, so that we can have the environment to raise crabs.

You can use a pot to grow it. It doesn't matter if the water is deep or shallow, it won't drown. But it's best to have water just enough to cover the shell. You can let it bask in the sun, but don't let it bask in the sun for too long. You can use tap water, but you have to bask in the sun for a day before using it.

Crabs are omnivorous.

You can feed them fish, whether raw or dried, they can accept it. You can also feed them fish feed, such as bloodworms, shrimps, snails, and mussels. It is best to feed them some grass food regularly, such as bitter grass, elodea, etc. As long as the feeding is OK, you don't have to worry about other things. Crabs are easy to raise.

If you need to add salt, add 2 level spoons of salt to 1 liter
