- Keeping a blue crab from the grocery store has been something I've wanted to do for quite a while, and it turned out being even more fun than I thought! :)

Get the octopus. Save an octopus. Save an octopus. Save an octopus. Save an octopus
THAT'S WHAT I'M WANTING 🥹
Sad that octopus are so intelligent yet are alive in that grocery store 😢
Froooogs poor frogs
Yes PLEASE
@@GuilhermeSilva-xk1vu Yeah :((
Crabs: nice. We're getting outta here.
Clams and snails: nice. We're...wait, what?

Hilarious but sad
It's sad, but the crabs like some meat so it's fair
@@senhor_errante Yeah, they're not vegetarians. We gotta meet any pets where they're at for their sustenance!
Crab supremacist
The octopus part especially hurts to watch. They’re incredibly intelligent cephalopods, and watching that one basically “trip” after trying to move was incredibly heartbreaking. I’m not against eating animals, but I’m very much against keeping them in poor conditions while they basically just wait for it to end
There's a lot of motions to make octopi illegal to consume as food because they have the intelligence of I believe a 4 year old and they very much know what is happening to them.
Stop 😭😭😭
I couldn’t agree with you more. Octopus are so intelligent. I hope an octopus is saved next!
I go on holiday to Spain a lot and would always eat lots of octopus. But as much as I loved eating them I just can't anymore, knowing now what I know about them. I'm already vegetarian, but am getting closer and closer go going full vegan. And WTAF with the live frogs... in a supermarket??? How is that legal?
@@smashfaces You're not making any valid arguments. An octopus is incredibly intelligent. This is a known fact. Octopus intelligence is a very well-studied field because of how fascinating it is. They are incredibly more intelligent than a bear. This has nothing to do with "training". You seem to be just going off your pre-concieved notions of what animal intelligence is. "will eat you if they can, just like an Octopus" huh? Do you even know what an octopus is?
I love how they bury themselves with the leftovers. They know full well that when they have the late night munchies they won’t want to get up it’s genius actually 😂
Man created an happy healthy crab couple and gave them a house.
and drowned like 20 snails

WHAT THE FUCK DUDE
WHO LIKED THAT
To see these poor guys absolutely depressed and destitute waiting for their death. They are starved and just waiting to be killed.
But then to see them spring to life when given the chance, even being able to tell they're happy and even playing with toys... It just breaks my heart! 🥺😭
It’s so sad. I can never eat lobster or crab and I don’t. Not everything on this planet needs to be eaten. You’ll live without eating them

@@elithluxe7568crabs are delicious, missing out
@@BrainMeltGamingMaybe you should be eaten
@@BrainMeltGaming I love how people think this is a normal thing to say and not a sign of a psychopath.
This is exactly the kind of thing I like to see on RUclips
That makes two of us
I love how the crabs have different personalities, like brulee is the big bossy sister and custard is the fragile quiet little brother
Or he is not the boss in this marriage! LoL
Brulee was also bossier but seemed to have less survival skills than Custard. 🤔 Interesting
That’s because Brûlée is clearly an adult woman and Custard is the equivalent of a teen boy. It’s probably why she didn’t like him at first. He’s not grown yet.
@@amberestie6605Brûlée was better than Custard at every task, im not sure where you got that from?
She had to help him with every single thing, what are you even @@amberestie6605
He’s doing what all of us wanted to do as a kid 🥲
Me too 😢
I know right 😭 once I became an adult, I started to rescue lizards. Now I need to rescue some crabs, but first, I must do research!
@@Archon_of_Freedom_ Wishing you the best on this journey!
This reminds of my watching Leon the Lobster 🦞 that a sweet man saved from a grocery store!! This is so cool that people are doing this, I would just have to take them all, I couldn’t choose. Poor babies crammed in a metal box, no salt water, nothing. God Bless you for doing this and I’m glad you go two, I’ll be following Custer and Brûlée as I do sweet Leon✝️🙏🏼☮️🕊️🌞🥰❣️❣️❣️❣️
The fact that it feels like they actually have a conversation and talk about stuff and giving each over a try
I'm surprised nobody's mentioning Leon the Lobster. I love this new genre of rescuing crustaceans from the grocery store. Good stuff. ❤
I know about him! It’s been awhile since I’ve watched his videos
I love Leon!
I love Leon! Have you seen the Howie the Crab channel?
Exactly what I thought as well.
I love Leon too! 0:06
Had no idea crabs could have this much personality.
crab are sentient
They have tons, but I am concerned the enclosure is still too small and lacks proper enrichment for such a large species... Has anyone developed underwater treadmills for underwater crab species? That would help I am sure.
But for comparison, I would use an enclosure that size for a species that's about an inch long.
It also needs a lot of enrichment added.
@@darcieclements4880 yes you’re right. It probably is too small but he might get a bigger tank, but even if he doesn’t, I think it is big enough
@@darcieclements4880
He'll probably improve on things over time as he learns more.
I remember another guy who did something similar to this but for just one crab.
Agree! I literally said that as I was watching
I'm so grateful there are videos helping people get to know these different animals. Each one is so unique and full of personality. People tend to ignore that when they're hungry 😭 You'd think as an advanced species we could do better with this planet full of wonder!
It’s part of life grow up.

This is what I wanted to do as a little kid when I first saw a live crab at the grocery store. Thank you for such a fun video to watch. I love how you gave life back to the crabs bringing out the playful side out of them.
I have *ALWAYS* hated those grocery story tanks, even as a dumb kid I could tell those lobsters/crabs were cramped, unhealthy and depressed.
Me too.
This, the crustaceans and mollusks always appeared wrong in these
Good thing I don’t like sea food, seeing them as a kid made me cry and I refused to eat crabs or lobsters
I hate these too just wrong
It’s sad, the octopus are always super depressed and untrusting for ages after rescued
I had no idea crabs were this adorable and silly😂
Certified crab body language expert here. Brulay kept posturing up when custard got on the tank saying "Im the boss here and your just my toy"
You are AMAZING my friend! Instrad of using them for their purchasing purposes, you gave them life. So amazing of you to dedicate the time and show so much devotion to make those souls feel comfortable!! God bless you!!!
I'm amazed how playful they are with you. Usually animals are real timid at first but these guys seem to be super excited and wanna play. Like your stimulating there intellect and there learning. How cool
No boiling pot that’s why they are nice
You just described most cancers I know.
you don't realize how exponentially spoiled you're making these crabs and lobsters, if they could talk they talk your ear off at how amazed and happy they are that you even cared about them like this. This type of Content is crazy good and glad I found it. SUBBED!!
At first I thought it was a hate message but I agree with you
Go check out Leon the lobster too
They aren't dogs. I find it unlikely that they are aware that they are being cared for in any capacity of affection ( i think proven by the fact that the crabs keep trying to claw the dudes hands)
& while I can't prove it, i'd bet that both crabs would prefer to be back in the wild instead of confined to a small prison called an aquarium.
@horusluprecal1144 ffs.. not only domestic animals feel things, and no, they're probably not super aware that someone saved them.. but so what?? Do you only give to charity when you can brag about it on social media?
In the wild, they'd very likely be captured again, sold and eaten.
@@elin_ Way to miss my point dude...
"not only domestic animals feel things" Gee, thanks Captain obvious. Take note that i never said that they didn't.
Try not to 'strawman'
"they're probably not super aware that someone saved them" - try "not at all aware"
" but so what??" I stated that he saved them from being eaten sure, but to be held captive in a small confined tank when i'm sure they'd rather be back in the wild. Domesticated animals such as dogs need providing homes, wild animals i'm sure would rather not be held in captivity.
" Do you only give to charity when you can brag about it on social media?" what ever gave you the idea to say something so stupid. I'm not even on facebook, twitter, tik-tok or whatever else there is out there so unless you count You-Tube as social media, i'm not even on it. Nor do i have any videos showing the homeless pets that i've adopted or managed to return to their owners.
What was even your point of posting? To show the world how big of a diick you are?
I never said dude couldn't keep his crabs as pets. Just that 'unlike dogs who can & usually do figure out that they have been saved & exactly who did it, that the crabs are oblivious to that fact & if you could ask them, they'd rather be back in the wild. I don't think I can simplify it any further for you.
Thank you for saving them and being kind to them
This made me cry..what a kind soul you are ❤
I love how you auctully know what you’re doing! Most influencers who do stuff like this have no idea how to take care of them this made my day!

It's people like you who paved the way for this !
if only you had a youtube channel back then, you could been making money feeding crabs
I did this too as a kid 😃 kept them for a few days then freed them in the ocean (yes they were a native species)

I didn't know how smart and clever crabs are. Thank you.
i love how you can see them grow on you and trust you!
I'm glad you fed them so much, I have heard that while they are in those tanks at the store, they aren't fed at all. I love that you rescue critters and wish you would go back and get some frogs. Thank you Josh!
It's not rescue if it's being sold specifically for consumption
He is misusing a product
@@thespudlord686 its not a product, it’s a live animal being horribly mistreated!! Humans are so cruel to animals it’s horrible, how would you like it if somebody snagged you and bound your legs and arms and stuck you in a tank and didn’t feed you, think about that for a while

This was So freaking adorable how they got excited for food and how well they adapted to their new home. Didn't realize crabs could have such animated personalities. I enjoyed this video so much especially watching them trying to figure out how to get the food out of the toys. I was so sad when the video ended..

What a great pairing!! They are so cute, and SUCH a good show!! I love to see them all interested in the food and getting back their strength and living life like a crab should!! So interesting to see how they are acting now that they are not in the store!! SO F-ING cute and adorable!!!😊😊😊
I agree
This is too cute, almost doesn't seem real. Thank you for saving these lovely animals and go get more pronto.
Saving an animal just so it can go and eat 20 other animals in 1 meal. Genius!

Keep it up I'm very happy to see you continue even after all that happened I just want you to know not to blame yourself for anything that happens you give these animals the best life's they could ask for In their short life's hope your doing ok and this comment if you see it boosts your happiness and courage keep it up josh😊
When she buried herself in the sand i couldn’t help but smile, thanks for helping these little guys
This is absolutely amazing. It’s so wholesome how the crabs went from about to be eaten to having a wonderful life as a pet. Thank you for doing this.😄
Also only pet if bought?
Unfortunately more crabs will die as a result of him buying these. It just perpetuates the system.
I love Crabs so much. They're so cool
They are so cute. They look so happy now.
You have to save an octopus. Crazy that they keep them alive in the store. They are so smart animals. They never do it like that in Europe (never seen it) Or for fact in at least Scandinavia
The octopus are going to die Because they only have a lifespan of one year And also they can escape I'm just being realistic here
@@dragonnet289 true on the first part, they only tend to live for 1 - 2 years, but the animal dying eventually is just part of getting a pet. Mice only live for about that timeframe and plenty of people keep them as pets.
Second part is just strange though, of course you need an enclosure it cant just crawl out of, but thats again pretty much a given for every pet, and an octopus only lives for a couple minutes under ideal circumstances outside the water anyways, so its not like theres a risk of it getting out into the ecosystem.
I would see them frozen (no container) in stores in Italy.
They may be smarter but those frogs just look so resigned to their fate that I hope he prioritizes them instead lol
In late 90s they still had living crab in some grocery stores in Finland and I vaguely remember seeing octopuses in a tank when I visited a market in Tallin in early 2000s, but I believe EU has made it illegal
I am convinced the first crab’s face was like :D when she realised she was in a tank 🥺 so grateful to you for saving them. Thank you
Im gonna be honest with you Josh it’s one in the morning and im crying over these damn grocery store crabs. I love all types of crustaceans (especially isopods and crabs) and I wish they were appreciated more. This made me unbelievably happy and absolutely made my day. Thank you for sharing your work!
I would love to see more of this guys!
Thank you for the video! So interesting and entertaining! ❤ Absolutely love those crabs! And your jokes were so funny 😄
I didn't realize how much fun crabs could be. They are so cute noming on foods
Agreed
Mind the KH Value, you can add some coral bones which can increase the calcium in water. it can make the crab shell more harder and prevent they die when changing the shell.
Interesting
@Just Joshing has to see this
Mind the ph, kh and gh. They need hard water for growing their new shell after molting. It would be good to add some more decorations/ hiding places to prevent aggression. Should also get a filter or the water will become dirty from the rotten food very quickly.
Now make those snails and clamps as pets.
Delicious
You know, I live in Maryland and blue crabs are a signature dish here! They are very tasty and a great food for 4th of July too! This video also showed me that there is still humanity left in society! Love the vids man keep up the great work!
OMG, I never thought I'd see crabs glomming onto raw CORN like that!! I've been laughing through this whole video, you are so awesome to rescue these fun & interesting creatures!

You did much more for these creatures than anyone could've done...I tip my hat to you...👏
YeeHaw 🤠
Definitely.. Thanks for doing this Just Joshing. I don't like seeing any animal die, but I do eat meat so I am a bit of a hypocrite. I can kill mosquitos, flies, yellow jackets or wasps when they get into the house because I could die if they sting me so since I live alone catching them is not an option. I did build a window cage though that they could crawl into but cannot get out. I haven't finished it yet. That's how upset I am with myself for killing yellow jackets and wasps that get into my house. I will always let jumping spiders out of my house. I can easily catch those. They are smart creatures! Cute as a button too!
And in the meantime, around 10,000 children starve to death each day worldwide. I got no problem with homeboy raising some crabs, but let's not put him on a pedestal for it.
@@patrickrichardson2518 Sir, it was never my intention to put this individual on a pedestal...merely acknowledging that there is some sparks of empathy out there.

i hope you can save the frogs too, i have kept frogs as well, and as long as your hands are clean and moist, i found my frogs would quickly get used to and even enjoy being held, theyd relax and sit chill with you; also would actually lean into gentle scritches on the side.

Some crabs will blow bubble nests to conceal themselves, considering how exposed these crabs were, the combination of better oxygenation and a sense of cover was probably very appealing.

I can easily tell that the crabs appreciate that someone saved them from being food
Gosh, this sounds almost like Leon's story. He is a grocery store rescued lobster that I've been following for two years. Who knew crustaceans would be that interesting.
