People don't know how destructive bunnies can be naturally and sad that they end up in the shelter a lot because of it. So great to see that you have given her so much space and ways to take out her energy!
could also help to get her a friend, just an idea 🥰i used to have an aggressive bunny and it was because she was lonely - I have three at the moment and they are really happy together :) She's super cute though haha
It’s so sad the amount of people who get animals without informing them selves on them. I saw a bunny in the front of someone’s house in a dog cages and the cage was disgusting,
I guess I wont be getting a bunny then... :/ ruined the mood, But I will have other animals soon too, Any tips about fish and Hamsters and cats and dogs and birds?
@@StrawberryOrNotMILZ Victoria Rachel has good tips for hamsters, zack George has awesome training videos for dogs, soda Pets has some good videos on fish care, and unfortunately I’m not sure which channel has good cat care.
I've had plenty of feisty bunnies in my time through fostering and adoption. I wonder if Zero's attitude change is also about the change from sharing your space to having her own. She's also transitioned from a pen to a large open space and may feel less safe/more defensive because of that. Try giving her more hides, you can make them out of cardboard boxes, most animal people have lots of those around! My last feisty girl bun hated me wearing socks. She would always greet me with nose nudges on my ankle/lower leg, but if I was wearing socks when she greeted me, she would bite at the socks, hard. My solution ultimately was to stop wearing socks in the house!
With 17 guinea pigs, 2 cats and a rabbit with a full time job I struggle sometimes with veggie prepping and it does suck even more when people panic and over buy all the veggies
Totally recommend a salad spinner for your veggie prep! The OXO one is amazing and what I use. Gets everything really dry and I even use it to wash veggies too.
Zero’s behaviour will calm back down, the spay will have caused her hormones to go crazy, can take up to 2 months for them to fully settle back down, just hang in there! Give her Lots of toys for her to destroy, and if she gets too bad you may need to use your x-pen while she settles xx
There's an article on House Rabbit Society (I can't link it in comments) that talks about agression in rabits. It might be that Zero's hormones are out of whack (for right now) and could take up to a month to come back down. Until then all you can do is be patient and mayhaps wear shoes that cover your ankles or thick socks. Idk, you could put her back into a pen again again she becomes less agressive?
I just admire you a lot. you take really good care of your pets and even though Zero bites and hisses at you and her bites make you bleed, you didn’t give up on her and you didn’t just leave her in a shelter. You keep taking care of her and you still love her. I hope Zero’s situation gets better and I hope she stops being aggressive with you. I really enjoy watching your videos and I’ve learned a lot because of you. I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for taking care of so much animals and keeping up with your channel even if you have to lead with hate. ❤️❤️✨
Also you’ve inspired me to start my own channel. I have 2 guinea pigs and 2 dogs, and I’m trying to get quail eggs and try to make them hatch. Do you have any suggestions that could help me start my own pet channel? thanks! ❤️❤️✨☺️
One of my family members got two rabbits about 6-8 months ago and when I went over to visit I went outside to their hutch to see them because even though I personally had no intentions on having rabbits I love them. Despite me sending her multiple RUclips links and articles on PROPER bunny care she kept them in a small hutch outside 😞 One of them had past away and the remaining rabbit had no pellets, no hay, no water. Needless to say I just grabbed "him" and took him home. He's free roaming in my bathroom for now, will slowly start integrating him into free roaming the whole house. Your story about your bun makes me nervous to have him neutered but I guess we'll hope for the best!
Don’t worry about getting him fixed. I’m pretty sure rabbits get a temporary hormone surge after they get fixed but after a month or two their hormone levels should go back to normal so the aggressive definitely won’t last forever
Love for your pets shows through the way you care for them & interact with them. Each one is an individual with his/her own personality. Love your videos!! And thank you for recommending The Witcher, it’s an awesome show!!
Hi Alyssa, I'm getting two new male Guinea pigs. Your channel has motivated me and seeing what you do inspired me to adopt to male guinea pigs. Love your channel and what you do hope you and your guinea pigs and your other animals are doing well. Remember to take care of yourself to.
Hello! I just recently started watching ur yt. Like a couple days ago. Ur chanel helped me a lot with my guinea pig care, and ur vids are entertaining too! Keep it up :^)
We have the same washing machine as you! :O I recognised the noise instantly. lol Also, I love that you have such a big heart. I admire you and love that you care so much for these animals. It's absolutely possible to have 20 or more animals and be able to take care of them. Some people are just ignorant and make too many assumptions, despite not knowing people personally. Yeah, there are very selfish and irresponsible people in the world, some do neglect their pets and hopefully those kinds of people get reported and have their pets taken to a better home or at least a rescue; But there are plenty of people who have more than a few pets that do take care of them and can financially support them too. You are proof that people can be responsible for multiple pets and give them quality of life. Don't listen to ignorant people. You are a good person and with a huge heart! I can't even have one pet right now, due to not having enough space where I live and my own mental health isn't great, but I love watching your videos and watching pets just living their best life. It brings me a lot of joy and makes my days a little brighter for a little while. On another note: Make videos that you want to. You don't have to make more routine vids if you don't feel like it. Just do what you feel like doing! :D It's your channel, after all.
What happy babies 🥺 if you need a new podcast to listen to, if you haven’t already crime junkie on apple podcast and RUclips, is SO ADDICTIVE definitely recommend! Their energy is great!
Zero is exactly doing what all my female rabbits have done. Never had that experience from a male so far. I honestly wish you good luck, because I've been absolutely unable to fix it and would be nice seeing it's possible
i don't know if anyone commented this yet or not but for the lettuce, if you cut the bottoms off a tiny bit more and fill a glass/mug with water just enough to touch the lettuce, it will regrow and you'll have more lettuce! also change the water every 2 days, i have like 7 different things going for my 2 bunnies :)
We rescued a bun dumped in our yard and she is very aggressive. She lunges, bites and growls. Feedings were worse. I have gotten rid of her food bowl and instead feed her with different snuffle mats in different places. I found taking her out of her normal space for feedings where she isnt fully comfortable has helped.
I would love to see just a daily routine of every pet. I have a dog, two cats, and three piggies and it’s a lot of daily upkeep with everyone but of course I still want more animals. I’m just always worried about overwhelming myself.
My bun as well was very aggressive after her spay. it took about three weeks to calm down. one thing i thought it might have been was that she was just very uncomfortable because of her spay and she just wanted to be left alone, although im not sure of my theory. I would recommend reaching out to Sincerely, Cinnabun and her owner Morgan. She knows a ton about bunnies and might be able to help!
I'm glad that you didn't get rid of Zero because of her destructive behavior, at my local rescue they often get rabbits, dogs, and other small animals (like hamsters) into their custody because people are uninformed about how to bond with their animals and what their animal needs for them to stop doing that destructive behavior.
I'd recommend reaching out to the Lennon the bunny channel. Even if she has no idea about the behavior from Zero she knows lots of people with bunny experience she reach out to for you for advice or tips about her aggressiveness after her spay
Hey can you send on the link to your huge litter tray please, I have one but it is only a grid and a half looking for one that goes right across two grids and the one you have looks perfect. Did you have to cut the opening? Thank you!
I’ve heard of many cases after a rabbit being fix they turn aggressive temporarily. I believe their hormones get jacked up and from what I’ve been told it’s like a “puberty stage” where they’re super aggressive. The best to do is just to keep calm, take it slow, and within a few weeks they are usually right back to normal.
Love this. I wish youtube could be my full-time job, too. I only have 4 videos.. need to make more. I am getting a bunny soon for my daughter (I'm a stay at home mom so I'll be with it).. will be documenting it as well for youtube, but you're such a natural. I have social anxiety, but I will try my best because my family wants to see me surprising my daughter (they live 2,000+ miles away).
A staple for me that stays fresh is green beans. I’ve found that I can buy a lot and have them for a couple of weeks before they start to brown. Plus my piggies love them.
I loved this video, would you ever be open to showing what your crested gecko looks like? Me and my boyfriend have several and am just curious what yours looks like ❤️
Hey!! Where did you get the vacuum and what is it called i have one for my piggies cage but it is too high powered and sucks the liner but yours didnt seem like it had that problem??
Same here. I have a male bunny, and he was pretty sweet and chill before his neuter, but afterward he seemed more grouchy, skittish, and started chewing holes in all his fleece pads that I had down for him to lay on. He also started digging poops and litter onto the floor (which he never did before his operation). It's been over a month and a half since he was fixed and things are about the same, so I'm afraid that getting him neutered may have changed his temperament for the worse. In the last 2 weeks he also started to have his first big molt, so I've had to brush him to help it along and he isn't happy about that :(
My female bunny also had a stage of attacking me. She would attack my ankles to the point were they bled. There isn't a way to fix it but the good news is that the reason it's happening is because after a spay a BUNCH of hormones rise in their system and it can last for a couple months after. But trust me it gets better. Now my bun is the sweetest girl ever!
I know you briefly mentioned what you feed your guinea pig that doesn’t eat veggies but it was hard to see and a little hard to hear, my guinea pig will eat 0 veggies i have tried banana, broccoli, multiple types of lettuce, apple, carrot, almost everything and i need an alternative to replace those any suggestions?
Hi I am so glad your feeling better I am so glad that your animals are also doing good love you and your videos can you also do a video about Bowser and a tour of your house
Some rabbits just have feisty demeanors. But if she just had it done recently it takes several weeks for their hormones to settle. I would give her a smaller space to begin with then as she improves slowly enlarge it. If you have girl guinea pigs, they can spray urine out of their cage. Rabbits use their pee and poop to mark their territory as well as chinning. If the guinea pigs' pee and poop is falling into her space, she may be interpreting it as them trying to claim her area. I would just go low and slow. Get down to her level and approach her slowly from the side as their vision isn't that great from in front and above scares them. You got this!
If you take her outside, like where she would be naturally, and let her kinda roam so she can sort of let her get her energy out. If she is territorial, do scatter feeding and feed her by hand. That way she will not bite you, and be territorial.
The couple bunnies that I have spayed or neutered did a similar thing… the vet told me that it’s a rush of hormones there body is trying to get rid of since their spay/neuter. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ It did eventually completely go away!
I’ve had a rescue free roam rabbit (love of my life) for 3 years now, she’s 6 :) and she was spayed a couple of years ago and she wasn’t aggressive, she’s so loving and we cuddle every day without fail but a couple of times she boxed my hands if id go near her because she had to stay in her pen which isn’t like her but we took it down to the surgery and being confused and having to stay confined so maybe Zero is just a bit mad at you and confused or something? Also she often growls/ nips my boyfriend because he’s the one that has to pick her up and put her in her carry case for the vets so she’s associated him with that but she’s my best friend hahah. So maybe see how she acts with your boyfriend? She could just need a bit more time :)
My 3month yr old piggy just died this past weekend and idk how I was at my dads she had a big enough cage two sister and a nice enviroment I miss her so much and watching this makes me feel better❤️💐
Regards to Zero.. just hang in there!! We have 2 buns and our aggressive bun "Jelly" would charge us and bite us all the time.. We didnt know what to do, but stuck with "Jelly" for the past year.. Slowly now Jelly is the sweetest Bunny.. Food is the answer.. Bananas are king.. Spend at least 30 minutes rubbing their heads.. Rabbits love to make messes, you just need to laugh it off.. You're a great mom!!
So true my two buns are so messy and like to destroy stuff one night I put them in there room an hour earlier than I usually do and the next morning I woke up and they had taken a chunk out of my scrutain board I didn’t know weather to laugh or cry 😭 😂
Alyssa invest in a salad spinner I got one from Ikea pretty cheap and it's a pretty good size works wonders getting the water off leaf lettuce. Also try endive its basically dandelion my piggies love it. And feed the cores/stalks of lettuce to the piggies most piggies love them.
this is a little late but for your bunny she’s probably going through hormone changes from being spayed. it’s a big change for any animal. when she does bite yell ou really loud. it’ll startle her and eventually she’ll learn to stop biting. also reward for good behavior, like if she goes a day without destroying things give her a treat. i learned that my rabbit learns best from a reward based training. i hope this helps ☺️
You are living my dream life 😂😂😂😂 I aspire to have many animals and to provide for all of them myself. I am autistic and my bunny rabbit helps me when I am anxious about something, like noise, by just sleeping in my lap with his paw over my arm. I currently have only one pet, my rabbit. His name is Ziva (we thought he was a girl until last week lol, so Ziva is now a unisex name lol), but when I move out, I am going to get more rabbits and get a few other animals too! I am beyond excited! ❤
After doing a lot of research, I’ve seen that if they get spayed they can consistently keep GI Stasis AND change their behavior. It’s made me decide NOT to spay my female bunny. So sorry you had to deal with her being so aggressive 🥺
Here in sweden breeders have noticed that rabbits can change moods and get agressive if they have brain tumor. But most likely she is hormonal, it can take 14 days before they get "normal"
I really.think your an awsome pet mom your doing amazeing and i know the rat conmunity is not that nice the same in the netherlands ... but hope you feel better ❤
When a bunny is misbehaving you can thump at them to let them know you're annoyed, the same way they do, either hitting the ground with your hand or stomping (carefully) on the ground with your foot might show her what she's doing is wrong
I used to do that with my bun but he’s super sassy and loved to dig in his littertray so I caught him doing it one day and made a bang with my hand off the floor to make a stomp noise and he stopped and stared At me it was funny
How are your hermit crabs? I am thinking about getting a couple but not 100% sure. Any advice on getting hermit crabs? Btw I am a really big fan of yours! Love the videos. Keep it up! ❤️
I have 2 hermit crabs. First off if you get them from a pet store or anywhere that they come from with painted shells give them plenty of new shells to choose from at all times. They just really need out of the painted shells since it's toxic for them. Do not force them out of their old shell though. My crab that came with a painted she'll switched shells within the first week. Habitat requirements- is 10 gallons per crab, temperature between 75-85°F and humidity anything above 70%. (They cannot breathe properly without humidity and originally lived in a tropical environment). Careful with heat lamps because they can make it difficult to keep the humidity up. You can use them though. Substrate- at least 6 inches deep since most crabs love to dig and burrow. What is widely used is a mix of eco earth and playsand that you can find at Lowe's if your in the US. Whatever you do, do not get calcium sand or "crab sand" it is extremely bad for them and can harden and get stuck inside their shells. They'll appreciate fake foliage, and stuff to climb on. My crabs have a large reptile log that they absolutely love and sleep inside it everyday as their "homebase". They need a 12hr day and night cycle, ALL of their water need to be dechlorinated otherwise they could get sick. At all times they need access to both dechlorinated freshwater and sea saltwater that they can fully submerge in. Diet- various fruits and vegetables and a source of protein. They don't eat very much but they eat a large variety. Hermit crabs are also very social creatures but I've heard will eat each other or fight if there isn't enough shells in the tank (recommend at least 3 per crab appropriate for their size or the next size they'll need) also if you have to small of a tank for the amount of crabs. I currently have my 2 crabs in a 35 gallon tank. Crabs are also a pet to not handle often. They are easily stressed and should only be handled if you put them in a temporary tank to clean the main one, for health checks, or checking the sex which I don't recommend doing for the first month at least since they're getting settled. Also if you think they aren't alive it is possible they are molting. Or in my case when I first got mine I was not aware that they were nocturnal and I never saw my crab move from the same spot. Turns out he just slept in the same spot every time lol

With 17 guinea pigs, 2 cats and a rabbit with a full time job I struggle sometimes with veggie prepping and it does suck even more when people panic and over buy all the veggies
For your cilantro, put them in a glass and add enough water to cover the tips of the stems. It lasts longer and they don’t get soggy 😊

Also? Maybe try CBD oil in the meantime to help with any pain and anxiety that she could have from the surgery.
I loved this video! The pigs were so adorable eating their peppers. You’re a stunning pet mama! 🥰
My rabbit did the same thing when he got fixed. Took him some time to grow out of it.
I just admire you a lot.
you take really good care of your pets and even though Zero bites and hisses at you and her bites make you bleed, you didn’t give up on her and you didn’t just leave her in a shelter. You keep taking care of her and you still love her. I hope Zero’s situation gets better and I hope she stops being aggressive with you.

“Zero just wants to destroy the world right now. Which is fine, I’ll let her.” 😂 I found this so funny but you’re doing great hang in there
I admire you so much!! I literally feel like I have my hands full with one single cat - and I feel like cats are one of the easiest pets!!
When I do veggie prep, I pack them in normal Tupperware without washing them, then right before I feed my pigs I wash them. Makes it much easier.
I love your makeup at the end of the video omg !
Also Zero dragging the bed was hilarious 😂
What vacuum do you use to clean up their poop because I have been looking for one on Amazon but they have bad reviews. Btw love your videos❤️

you should invest in a salad spinner! gets veggies dry fast
Rabbit + carrots = love
You should try dandelion leaves. I get them from the grocery store and My piggies love them :)
I know you briefly mentioned what you feed your guinea pig that doesn’t eat veggies but it was hard to see and a little hard to hear, my guinea pig will eat 0 veggies i have tried banana, broccoli, multiple types of lettuce, apple, carrot, almost everything and i need an alternative to replace those any suggestions?
Hi I just need to thank you, you got me through the hardest time of my life (my cat passed) and I really can’t thank you enough
I know this video is like 5 month old, but have you considered growing your own veggies and herbs for your pets?
Amazing video. Thank you! Oh and Coffee is my spirit animal. XD
I love your videos
Good to see it not just my pigs that steal each other food.
Hi I am so glad your feeling better I am so glad that your animals are also doing good love you and your videos can you also do a video about Bowser and a tour of your house
Some rabbits just have feisty demeanors. But if she just had it done recently it takes several weeks for their hormones to settle. I would give her a smaller space to begin with then as she improves slowly enlarge it. If you have girl guinea pigs, they can spray urine out of their cage. Rabbits use their pee and poop to mark their territory as well as chinning. If the guinea pigs' pee and poop is falling into her space, she may be interpreting it as them trying to claim her area. I would just go low and slow. Get down to her level and approach her slowly from the side as their vision isn't that great from in front and above scares them. You got this!
I have a question do you think my Guinea pig needs a water bowl or a water bottle thing
If you take her outside, like where she would be naturally, and let her kinda roam so she can sort of let her get her energy out.
If she is territorial, do scatter feeding and feed her by hand. That way she will not bite you, and be territorial.
The couple bunnies that I have spayed or neutered did a similar thing… the vet told me that it’s a rush of hormones there body is trying to get rid of since their spay/neuter. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ It did eventually completely go away!
Alyssa when will your next video be and do you have any dworf hamsters😊
I’ve had a rescue free roam rabbit (love of my life) for 3 years now, she’s 6 :) and she was spayed a couple of years ago and she wasn’t aggressive, she’s so loving and we cuddle every day without fail but a couple of times she boxed my hands if id go near her because she had to stay in her pen which isn’t like her but we took it down to the surgery and being confused and having to stay confined so maybe Zero is just a bit mad at you and confused or something? Also she often growls/ nips my boyfriend because he’s the one that has to pick her up and put her in her carry case for the vets so she’s associated him with that but she’s my best friend hahah. So maybe see how she acts with your boyfriend? She could just need a bit more time :)
You kind of make me think of the character Olivia Benson from SVU special Victims Unit.
My 3month yr old piggy just died this past weekend and idk how I was at my dads she had a big enough cage two sister and a nice enviroment I miss her so much and watching this makes me feel better❤️💐
Add a lemon slice or and orange peel it helps keep greens fresh. My GMA told me that . It works
You should start a mini garden of vegetables to save some money from vegetables
Regards to Zero.. just hang in there!! We have 2 buns and our aggressive bun "Jelly" would charge us and bite us all the time.. We didnt know what to do, but stuck with "Jelly" for the past year.. Slowly now Jelly is the sweetest Bunny.. Food is the answer.. Bananas are king.. Spend at least 30 minutes rubbing their heads.. Rabbits love to make messes, you just need to laugh it off.. You're a great mom!!
So true my two buns are so messy and like to destroy stuff one night I put them in there room an hour earlier than I usually do and the next morning I woke up and they had taken a chunk out of my scrutain board I didn’t know weather to laugh or cry 😭 😂
Yay Love the routine!!!
Also love that you are feeling better!😀
Have you ever tried the strainer that spins, it's got like a strainer in the bowl then the water spins out
Ur veggies are about to last a whole week longer. I love those blesseded containers
Awesome video! How old are your Guinea pigs ? Mine is 7 years old
Alyssa invest in a salad spinner I got one from Ikea pretty cheap and it's a pretty good size works wonders getting the water off leaf lettuce. Also try endive its basically dandelion my piggies love it. And feed the cores/stalks of lettuce to the piggies most piggies love them.
what vacumn do you use for the poop for the cavies? and it doesn't scare them?
this is a little late but for your bunny she’s probably going through hormone changes from being spayed. it’s a big change for any animal. when she does bite yell ou really loud. it’ll startle her and eventually she’ll learn to stop biting. also reward for good behavior, like if she goes a day without destroying things give her a treat. i learned that my rabbit learns best from a reward based training. i hope this helps ☺️
I could never own an animal that poops that much. Props to you for keeping up with that
You are living my dream life 😂😂😂😂 I aspire to have many animals and to provide for all of them myself. I am autistic and my bunny rabbit helps me when I am anxious about something, like noise, by just sleeping in my lap with his paw over my arm.
I currently have only one pet, my rabbit. His name is Ziva (we thought he was a girl until last week lol, so Ziva is now a unisex name lol), but when I move out, I am going to get more rabbits and get a few other animals too! I am beyond excited! ❤
After doing a lot of research, I’ve seen that if they get spayed they can consistently keep GI Stasis AND change their behavior. It’s made me decide NOT to spay my female bunny.
So sorry you had to deal with her being so aggressive 🥺
You should invest in an extra large salad spinner they’re like $20 and really easy to clean.
Yay! A long video 😍😍😍
Hi, I love your vids so much and I'm happy you didn't get rid of zero for her messy and meaness.
A good bunny RUclipsr is Lennon the bunny she's the best and she has great tips on how to better your care and a whole bunch of other things
Here in sweden breeders have noticed that rabbits can change moods and get agressive if they have brain tumor.
But most likely she is hormonal, it can take 14 days before they get "normal"
I really.think your an awsome pet mom your doing amazeing and i know the rat conmunity is not that nice the same in the netherlands ... but hope you feel better ❤
When a bunny is misbehaving you can thump at them to let them know you're annoyed, the same way they do, either hitting the ground with your hand or stomping (carefully) on the ground with your foot might show her what she's doing is wrong
I used to do that with my bun but he’s super sassy and loved to dig in his littertray so I caught him doing it one day and made a bang with my hand off the floor to make a stomp noise and he stopped and stared At me it was funny
I do that too! They catch on really quickly…or don’t care at all, lol!

Heyyy! I just need to know, how much do you as a RUclipsr make every month? Is it different depending on ur views, likes etc?😅
How are your hermit crabs? I am thinking about getting a couple but not 100% sure. Any advice on getting hermit crabs? Btw I am a really big fan of yours! Love the videos. Keep it up! ❤️
They have been dead for a while
I have 2 hermit crabs. First off if you get them from a pet store or anywhere that they come from with painted shells give them plenty of new shells to choose from at all times. They just really need out of the painted shells since it's toxic for them. Do not force them out of their old shell though. My crab that came with a painted she'll switched shells within the first week.
Habitat requirements- is 10 gallons per crab, temperature between 75-85°F and humidity anything above 70%. (They cannot breathe properly without humidity and originally lived in a tropical environment). Careful with heat lamps because they can make it difficult to keep the humidity up. You can use them though.
Substrate- at least 6 inches deep since most crabs love to dig and burrow. What is widely used is a mix of eco earth and playsand that you can find at Lowe's if your in the US. Whatever you do, do not get calcium sand or "crab sand" it is extremely bad for them and can harden and get stuck inside their shells.
They'll appreciate fake foliage, and stuff to climb on. My crabs have a large reptile log that they absolutely love and sleep inside it everyday as their "homebase".
They need a 12hr day and night cycle, ALL of their water need to be dechlorinated otherwise they could get sick. At all times they need access to both dechlorinated freshwater and sea saltwater that they can fully submerge in.
Diet- various fruits and vegetables and a source of protein. They don't eat very much but they eat a large variety.
Hermit crabs are also very social creatures but I've heard will eat each other or fight if there isn't enough shells in the tank (recommend at least 3 per crab appropriate for their size or the next size they'll need) also if you have to small of a tank for the amount of crabs. I currently have my 2 crabs in a 35 gallon tank.
Crabs are also a pet to not handle often. They are easily stressed and should only be handled if you put them in a temporary tank to clean the main one, for health checks, or checking the sex which I don't recommend doing for the first month at least since they're getting settled.
Also if you think they aren't alive it is possible they are molting. Or in my case when I first got mine I was not aware that they were nocturnal and I never saw my crab move from the same spot. Turns out he just slept in the same spot every time lol
