Also it is very normal for them to spend lots of time down there, they are underground dwellers.

I commonly have to bribe mine with treats to get them out of their holes.

They may not always.

Put some in a dish with lobworms, the smell will transfer.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help

I cant seem to find if you are able to get crayfish for it or not. As they are live, they move around and attract attention easier than the shrimp, which might help. You might not be able to find them in pet stores but Id guess that aquarium keepers over there probably sell them like they do here.

Im not sure mate. Never thought of trying aquarium keepers. How big are they though? Cause my little guy is only about a foot or so last I checked do not sure if they would be suitable as of yet?

You can get them just about any size as they start out just tiny. Aquarium keepers get rid of their extras as they eventually will take over a fish tank and eat everything in sight after they breed.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help

From what I understand, with a big tank setup, Crayfish will reproduce like cockroaches once established.

I have abundant crayfish during the summer at my disposal for free, so I have never thought about trying to breed them.

Some species don't even breed at all, Marbled Crayfish are all parthenogenic females. Those things clone themselves like no tomorrow..

Re: baby bosc not growing need help

They are pretty easy to get to reproduce, thats for sure! It takes some time for them to get big enough to feed an adult though. Also depends a lot on the species.
