Hi everyone,
I have owned a single female red clawed crayfish for approximately one month now. She had moulted twice in this time.
I noticed some parculiar behaviour in the last week or so- her tail has been curled right underneath her abdomen and she has been building a wall under her favourite hiding spot.
I checked on her again this morning to see her fanning a large number of eggs on her abdomen.
How long is it likely to be until she releases the eggs? And are they likely to have been fertilised before I got her?
Thanks
