According to the book "The crayfish of Missouri" written by William L. Pflieger "The mouth parts of a crayfish consists of five parts of overlapping structures, each with its own role in crushing and shredding the food before it is ingested." "the largest of these structures are the heavy tooth-like mandibles."

How many guppies a week do crayfish eat?
Without much more information the question can not be answered accurately. Crayfish are scavengers and guppies are not their natural prey. If the crayfish is small enough and your guppies don't have long flowing fins then the guppies may well be too fast for the crayfish to catch. So the answer then would be none. Are you feeding the crays dead guppies? If so I would add one and see how long it takes the crayfish to eat it. Then I would add more and more dead guppies one at a time as the crayfish devours them. As the crayfish grows so it will eat more.
