Daily Krab || The crab that represents this blog has been dubbed Crabbius Crabbington III. Feel free to refer to me as such :)

I don't like mixing my socials, but hey! Support me financially!

This blog is not currently accepting crabs! Sorry.

~~~~~

I post roughly between 2-3pm MDT/MST. I may post sooner or later depending on what im doing in the moment, but I do intend to post! Please be patient with me about this, I am quite busy and also forgetful, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to work post queue ^^"!

On Fridays, our fact days, and Sundays, our submission days, I will post around the same time, though it may fluctuate!

Saturdays are going to be a break day for me! A crabbath(crab sabbath) if you will. A break once a week is good for my mental health and very important, even if it may not seem like it.

I love interacting with people, so feel free to communicate with me! Preferably through DMs so that my blog is not flooded with too many un-crab related posts, but however you wish to make contact is alright! It doesn't need to be crab related, I just enjoy holding a conversation! It is my enrichment :)

Please click through and read the article. It just keeps getting better and better.

Because the crabs are raised in a lab, they donโ€™t have any experience with predators. So before putting them onto the reef, Spadaro and his team may have to condition them to fear things like octopuses, snappers, and groupers. One way to do this is by using puppets modeled after predators. By putting these puppets in the tanks while poking at the crabs, the crabs learn to move away from the threat. Several months ago, Mote partnered with a local elementary school and had students craft hand puppets, modeled after crab predators, to use in fear conditioning. (Fortunately, the crabs donโ€™t have great vision.)
