HI JUST AN UPDATE........... ITS TO LATE THE OTHER CRAB HAS COME BACK AND FINISHED THE JOB. I HAVE JUST LOOK IN THERE AND HE HAS NEARLY EATEN HIM NEVER MIND

If you want to keep more than one, I suggest you keep at least four, to disperse any aggression. Males tend to have larger claws, but other than that it is hard to tell the genders apart.

PLEASE STOP TYPING LIKE THIS. THANK YOU.

and if it does happen again the legs and claws grow back> They might also lose them when their molting
