I was kinda curious about that too, but I figured if it was removed from the thread, then it must be pretty bad.

If my dwarfs puff I think they would still be smaller than peas.

there are fiddlers in the tank and they have a go at them occasionally, but I've never actually fed them crab. they eat things from my hand more readily, than what they find on the ground.

Oh ok. We have those crabs wild at the beach here. In the spring there are literally thousands of them down by the shore doing their little mating dance.

tell me about it! but they are worth it, they do I great job of cleaning up after my messy little friends :)

... One crab is an escape artist though, he's gotten out twice and as far as I can tell I have the overhead sealed up tight!
