They shed because they are growing, they also grow back lost limbs... so by one with one or no claws and try to get a discount... you will have a perfect crayfish in a few months LOL

Hi there I don't know if you still looking for info but I've had my blue lobster for about 6 months (my roommate has had one for almost a year) and they shed a lot when they are small, when I first brought mine home he shed within a week. They definatly grow faster in 82ish warmer water but can live in any type (74 to 84). I feed mine frozen blood worms and brine shrimp and the odd algee wafer. They will shed about once a month for the first 5 months (at least mine did). But they are really easy to take care of, just make sure they have a safe place to hid for after they shed. Plus they get a lot bluer after every time they shed. Hope that helped.

They're undemanding and easy to keep. I had several at one time. They do like cooler water temp in mid 70s. They'll eat anything meat or veggie you throw in the tank. You do need to secure your tank due to their nature of escaping.
