CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Raising crabs indoors

1. Raising crabs indoors

Can be raised.

Here is a complete set of dense text I wrote:

To be honest, crabs are actually very easy to raise! (I also picked one up and raised it for a few months)

Environment: The bigger the fish tank, the better. It's OK if the water just fills the bottom of the tank. Change the water every two or three days. If you are diligent, put some stones in it (be careful that he will pile up stones and escape). However, you have to clean the stones frequently, which is very troublesome. I didn't put them in my fish tank.

Diet: Crabs are not picky eaters, so you can feed them shrimp (caught by yourself or dried) or small shrimps in water.

Ah, eggs, cabbage, dried tofu, chicken, beef, etc. In short, almost any crab that humans can eat can be eaten! It is best to cook it, because raw crabs will make the fish tank smelly!

Food amount: Feed once or twice a day, with one-third of the size of his foot being enough each time. Clean up the residue in time!

Tease: Use a small stick to tease him. After he gets familiar with you, he will not be afraid of you anymore.

Cleaning: (more cruel) Hold the crab with your hands, then use a toothbrush with some shower gel or soap to clean it, especially the corners, and hold its feet (don't use too much force) to brush. After the bath, rinse it with water, clean the fish tank, and occasionally sprinkle some salt, mainly to prevent infectious diseases.

Note: When you hold him, he should not be higher than 20 cm, otherwise he may fall and get injured.

He should have as much space as possible to move around, not too small!!!

By the way, when crabs first arrive in a strange environment, they are very stubborn. You can 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 down the food.

Crabs are omnivorous.

You can feed them fish, whether it is raw or dried, they will accept it. You can also feed them fish feed, such as bloodworms and shrimps.

, snails, and clam meat.

It is best to feed some grass food regularly, such as bitter grass, elodea, etc.

As long as the feeding is OK, you don't have to worry about the rest.

Crabs are easy to raise.

You can also feed some rice grains or steamed bread grains.

2. How to raise crabs at home so that they live longer?

1. How to preserve live hairy crabs: Preserving hairy crabs in temporary ponds

1. If you buy more hairy crabs than you can eat in three to five days, you cannot use the above method to store live hairy crabs. The best way is to use your bathtub as a temporary storage pond and let the hairy crabs enjoy it first: because the walls of the bathtub are smooth, the hairy crabs cannot escape. Then pour the hairy crabs gently into the bathtub and fill it with water to just bury the hairy crabs. If the hairy crabs stand up their eight legs, they can breathe on the water surface. Depending on the storage time and quantity, you can add a small amount of small fish and shrimp. Using this method to store live hairy crabs, hairy crabs can generally be stored for more than 7 days or longer. The survival rate of good quality hairy crabs can reach more than 95%.

2. Special reminder: If you are not eating immediately, please do not wash with water, otherwise the hairy crab will die. If the indoor temperature does not exceed 15℃, there is no need to put it in the refrigerator. Under normal circumstances, it can be stored for 5-7 days, but if it is stored for too long, the hairy crab will become thinner. It will not affect the taste if eaten within 3 days.

2. How to store live hairy crabs so they don’t die easily

1. Tie up the hairy crabs and put them in the refrigerator, preferably on the shelf with the fruits. Spread a wet towel on the hairy crabs, don't wring it too dry, and don't stack the towels. This way they can be preserved for a while.

2. Raise the hairy crabs in water. If the hairy crabs are too thin or you want to keep them for a while, you can feed them some sesame seeds or broken eggs and add some rice wine to fatten them up.

3. Keep it moist. It is no problem to survive for a week or two. Just don't soak it in water. The breeding place is usually placed in a cement pool, sprayed with water every day, sometimes for a month or two.

3. How to preserve live hairy crabs: plastic buckets/basins to preserve hairy crabs

Prepare a 30-50cm high plastic bucket/basin with smooth inner wall to prevent crabs from escaping. Put the crabs in it without stacking them; then add water to half the height of the crabs' bodies - mainly for moisture retention. Do not bury the crabs completely. If the water is too deep, the crabs will suffocate and die from lack of oxygen. The bucket/basin does not need to be covered. If you use this method to store live crabs, the crabs can be stored for more than 5 days when the temperature is not high.

5. How to store live hairy crabs: Use the refrigerator to store hairy crabs

Find a suitable foam box according to the size of your refrigerator freezer. You can put it in the freezer in advance to see if it fits. Then tie the legs and feet of the hairy crabs and put them in the foam box. Put them one by one, try to fill a layer and then add more. Add water to the foam box until the water covers the surface of the hairy crabs. Then cover the foam box and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator to freeze. When you want to eat the hairy crabs, just take them out and thaw them. Preserving the hairy crabs in this way can ensure the freshness of the hairy crabs to the greatest extent.

Here are some tips to keep crabs fresh for 7 days

I guess the original poster is asking about the hairy crabs that were bought for Chinese New Year. If you store these crabs in water, you are totally wrong, because hairy crabs are usually packed in net bags, and they will die if you put them directly in water. They cannot be stored for 5 days. The correct way is to put them on dry ground, but in a place with higher humidity, such as next to the kitchen sink. It is enough to put them in water for 5 minutes every 2 days or so. The crabs will help each other.

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.
