Emerald crab eating babies?
I have an emerald crab that was carrying babies, then I watched her as she began to eat her eggs out of her little trap door
Is this normal? Have u guys seen this type of behaviour before? here's a clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRDL1...&feature=feedu |

Sure she isn't picking out debris and detrius from the egg ball, and removing dead eggs?

I suppose she could be doing that.... it really looked as if she was eating something. I guess she could be picking out the bad eggs?...
