Cavipes

This is one of my Cavipes, Mr. Carrot. He’s my mom’s favorite crabby. Someone on the HCA had posted that they hadn’t seen many pictures of Cavipes, so I thought I would post a few.



This is Houdini, he was my first Cav. He was very social, but as soon as he changed out of the awful painted shell he got shy on me. This was about the same time that I got Mr. Carrot. My two Cavipes do not socialize at all. In fact, I can usually find them at opposite ends of the tank. I don’t post two many pictures of them because they are usually in hiding during the day, unlike my ruggies who are out at all hours. You can see the other few Cavipe pictures I have here.

This is Mortimer. Unfortunately, he was only with me for a few days. I’ve found that Cavs tend to be very delicate too; I’ve lost three within days of bringing them home.
