∙ 14y agoIn order to keep a blue crab as a pet you need to put it in a large tank and breed it.You can feed it any kind of meat such as:pork,chicken,beef,etc. which makes it very easy to feed.Dont put them in with other fish because when the fish go to sleep they fall to the bottom of the tank and the crab will try to eat them while there sleeping
