Ok, so I haven't seen my Pom Pom crab for about a week, which is a little unusual for her. Was a little bit worried, then tonight after lights out my daughter sees her, and she's carrying eggs!! A whole belly full of red eggs. I tried to goggle about it, didn't find much. I did read that Pom poms can carry sperm with them for quite a while and have several generations worth of sperm with them, and that it is possible that the eggs could be fertilized!! I read about other people having this same thing happen where they had the crab for about a month and they had some eggs hatch that were alive. But no said how they did this. My daughter wants to put the crab in the qt tank and try to hatch them. Problem is, I've never had anything hatch eggs before and I don't know what to do. I'm even afraid to try to catch her, afraid it will hurt her or the eggs. And if I do catch her, what then? Is qt tank alone enough for them to hatch? Do I need something special? Can't find any info on how to go about this. Totally lost!! Is it futile to try?
