Caught a crayfish today!
Hanging around our homemade stream.
Should I keep him as a pet, or release him? He's bright red/orange, and I did some web hunting on him. He's cute (think Sebastian from Little mermaid) http://webpages.charter.net/gareee/sabastian_pet.jpg Here's what I sent to the wife at work... -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

.. . Makes you think twice about walking alone near your pond late at night. =) I like the red one though. We dont have those around where. They are either grey or redish but not beat happy red. Sam I think we're gonna keep him, and give him an aquarium. We also like him becuase he's bright red, and he's very active! Now I get to aquarium hunt... -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

We kept a crayfish in an aquarium. He liked to hang out in a little toy aquarium cave. A real character. He turned out to be a she when she had lots of tiny little babies!!! Nobody survived to grow up. We were in the middle of a huge academic competition and if it happened again I would get on the internet and see what baby food baby crayfish need. k30a http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

He's happily digging little hidey holes under some large marble chunks we put in along with gravel. There seems to be contention about thier diets.. some people say small meats of some kind, others say mainly vegitation. Kinda surprising how little info is really accessable on these little critters. -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

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.
