Breeding fiddler crabs?!

[bettacove]

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but oh well!

My brother is obsessed with crabs, he has like a dozen! A few days ago we noticed one of the females had this goop around her 'belly'. as the days went on it got bigger and bigger. We realized that these were eggs!

Does anyone know how to raise these things???!! Shes started picking at them so I really don't think their gonna make it, we've seen her eating some.

any help would be great!!

You can't raise fiddler crab eggs into crabs- they have several stages of growth, and need ocean tides and all kinds of things like that. Congrats on getting the adults to try, though!
