Default Caught a crayfish today!

Crayfish are scavengers and will eat whatever they find. If it is
small they kill it. I don't think they will eat toad tadpole, but
they will try to catch a fish as big as they are when confined in an
aquarium. They will eat fish food and bits of meat, bugs if they can
catch them.

If you see him on top of something with one claw out of the water he
is probably waiting for a bug to light on it.

If you see his skeleton leave it in the water he may eat it to grow
the new shell.

Regards,

Hal

There seems to be contention about thier diets.. some people say small meats

Kinda surprising how little info is really accessable on these little
critters.
