I thought that I would see how Marcus reacted to the crab in the tupperware container. The video shows how much he wanted the crab, but just couldn't fit it into his den. He gave it his best shot :lol:

Great video. Did he come back out to get it?

Hahaha! That was an amazing video. It reminded my of King Kong. Taking his prize to the top of the tower. Except I don't think King Kong dropped his pretty lady...:0

hahaha funny you posted this....i was considering putting beaker's crab in a tupperware just like that, but i was worried he wouldn't be successful at opening it. did your little guy ever get the crab out?

He hasn't gone back to it after it wouldn't fit into his den. I don't know whether he has given up or is resting for a second attempt?????

Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Please keep videos coming so we can admire your critters and wish for our own :)

Love the simple tank design! Great video! Try making the cover looser, so when the octo touches it, he will notice that it moves. This is what I did with mine and he learned to open the case rather quickly ater that.
