These little crabs can live for 40 years or more with the right care! At its most basic, a good “crabitat” provides everything your crab needs to thrive.

For adult crabs, your substrate will be 12-14” deep! Glass aquariums are the best option to handle the weight of that much substrate. Fish tanks work really well, and while you can start with 5 gallons per crab, as your crabs grow, they’ll need 20 gallons per crab!
