Little crab, big world! It is not difficult to feed them. Let me introduce some tips for feeding small crabs.
Prepare an environment suitable for the survival of small crabs: this includes an aquarium or pool large enough, and some decorations, such as stones, plants and corals, to provide enough hiding places.
Keep the water clean: Crabs need a clean water environment to stay healthy. You can use filters or water goblins to purify the water, and change the water regularly, changing one-fifth to one-quarter of the water at a time.
Provide proper food: Small crabs are omnivorous animals. They can eat plankton, algae, aquatic plants, small fish, shrimp and insects. It is suggested to provide them with diversified foods to ensure that they get enough nutrition.
Control water temperature: Small crabs need to survive at a suitable water temperature. Generally speaking, the suitable water temperature range is 18℃ to 25℃. If the water temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the growth and health of small crabs.
Keep the humidity moderate: Crabs need proper humidity to maintain their life activities. If the humidity is too low, it will lead to dehydration of small crabs; If the humidity is too high, it will cause the little crab to get sick. It is recommended to control the humidity between 60% and 70%.
Regularly check the health status of small crabs: If you find any abnormal conditions of small crabs, such as loss of appetite, difficulty in moving or breathing, you need to take timely measures, such as checking water quality and adjusting food supply.
Regarding what the little crabs eat, the following is the diet plan to feed the little crabs:
Natural food: Small crabs can eat fresh natural food, such as plankton, algae, aquatic plants, small fish, shrimp and insects. These foods can provide nutrients and energy for small crabs.
Artificial feed: You can also buy artificial feed specially designed for small crabs to feed. These feeds are specially formulated to provide nutrients and energy for small crabs.
Live bait: If conditions permit, you can buy some live bait to feed small crabs, such as earthworms, small fish and shrimp. These live baits can provide nutrients such as protein and fat for small crabs.
It should be noted that different feeding environment and food supply will affect the growth and health of small crabs. Therefore, it is suggested to choose appropriate food types and supplies according to the actual situation, and regularly check the growth and health status of small crabs.
