#1 Post by eric »

is there anyway to collect hardback crabs and make them peel? would it take long to get them to do it?

i remeber a very controversial topic off an english website a while back that suggested that if you remove the eyes then this will induce peeling

true or not i dont know

i usually just cut the head part with a scissors id consider as painless as it can be, freezing them down live is as bad as you may think, the believe its winter time and shut down, enter a coma and evetually die.
