Default Re: Transporting Crabs

The crabs may have actually been playing dead.... If there was no water in the cooler to drown them, the cold temps may have put them in hibernation mode.

As mentioned above, the best thing to do is to keep them in a bushel basket and dip them in the salt water before transporting.
