In this video I show how I keep my fiddler crabs that I catch for bait alive long term. This is an updated video on what I have learned about keeping them year round.

In the colder months you will have to provide a heat source for the crabs. Some type of heat lamp will work for this.

If you have issues with raccoons and such getting into them you can build a mesh wire top for the habitat to protect them.

If you can get tidal sand (sand off an actual beach) it's better that using the sand I used in the video. It has nutrients in the sand that are beneficial. I didn't have access to that so I used regular play sand.

I have listed everything I used with links below.
