It’s built for life on the landward fringe: adults spend much of their time in self-made burrows and emerge to forage, often along paths and edges of vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2080\"\u003eIn a captive set-up, that translates to a strong digging drive and a preference for tight, shaded cover leaf litter and stable hides make them far more confident. They’re opportunistic feeders, taking a broad mix of plant matter and animal foods, and they rely on ready access to water for dipping and rehydration even though they’re not an “aquatic crab”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2080\"\u003eGive them a secure lid and sturdy décor; they’re surprisingly strong and will rearrange anything lightweight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":53264414769489,"sku":"brown-land-crab-unsexed","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Cardisoma-Carnifex_2.jpg?v=1773326320","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/purple-land-crab-copy","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
