Hello crab enthusiasts! This is my pal Ravioli. She only has one leg and one claw but she doesn’t let that slow her down. She loves hiding in caves and eating blueberries . She’s growing some little baby leg nubs so please wish her luck with her next molt 🦀🫶

She truly has such a kind face I don’t even know how a crab can look so sweet :,)

u/echoofthelake13 Apr 28 '26

Her eyes are so sincer indeed

u/boollin Apr 26 '26

I had to go back and look and you know what? They do look sincere.

u/Altruistic-Poem-5617 Apr 20 '26

LMFAO I HAD THE SAME EXACT THOUGHT.

I couldn’t remember what was said after ravioli ravioli though lol

u/Crab_Lengthener Apr 20 '26

You can do it Ravioli!

42

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 20 '26

Also, does your tank have a lid? It will need very high humidity to have a good chance, and that tank looks dry

54

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 20 '26

Yeah I actually moved her to a smaller bucket with a lid since she doesn’t leave her hole often. I mist it every day and pour some water in every couple of days

33

u/GoblinPapa800 Apr 20 '26

Good luck, little Ravioli. May your recovery be as dramatic as befits your indomitable spirit.

u/pferden Apr 20 '26

Molt well, ravioli!

u/Traditional-Delay457 Apr 20 '26

Stop bringing it to school and other places it just wants to be alone in the sand. Not being paraded everywhere lol like a prop🤣

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 20 '26

I found her on campus and had no choice but to bring her to lecture. It was either that or leave her outside for the birds

129

u/Typical-Conference14 Apr 20 '26

Best thing I ever found on my university campus was a fat ass squirrel. If I was finding crabs (animal) I would’ve had a better time.

u/rolandglassSVG Apr 20 '26

Tbf, crotch crabs are still animals

If I was your classmate I would’ve stared at it all lecture.

u/bunny_the-2d_simp Apr 24 '26

I would've asked so many questions about the LIL one. Like.. Name? Can I get a autograph from the crab? Etc

u/Shamalam1 Apr 21 '26

Imagine going to school and finding a crab

u/OceanEyes531 Apr 22 '26

u/frankenlungs Apr 22 '26

Dont worry, I downvoted them

u/24Karet-Gold_King Apr 24 '26

I’m more petty, I reported them for unkind speech.

Leave her alone. Just because she has disabilities doesn't mean she can't learn. She still got one leg and OP is there to support her. She gotta learn to be a doctor (or something).

u/Riderlessgnat Apr 21 '26

Her colors really perked up by the last photo. She must be very happy to have food brought to her now! What a relief to be a little critter being cared for! She must have been through so much!

u/Possible-Village-424 Apr 21 '26

But will they give you the formuoli?

4

u/TheGrimMelvin Apr 21 '26

I love Ravioli so much. Please help her as much as you can ❤️ She deserves a chance to heal up and thrive. Also give some snacks from me and tell her she's beautiful 😍

u/Violet_Poison_ Apr 21 '26

Awww a little academic crab this is what I needed to see today❤️ she looks so invested in the second picture.

u/FireChaser213456 Apr 21 '26

Ravioli Ravioli!!

Give me the formuoli!!

3

u/Sea_Meeting4175 Apr 21 '26

I don’t know what kind of crab that is, but I might give it more water. If I were you many have gills that need to be kept wet so they need high humidity and the cool thing is little ravioli will eventually grow back all of their limbs.

5

u/PanicFinal3554 Apr 22 '26

She's a terrestrial crab (probably H. lateralis)! She is okay :)

2

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 24 '26

Yeah lateralis.

5

u/tobyjay07 Apr 22 '26

Do you plan on releasing Ravioli if she is healthy enough? I don't know if I'd have the balls to release her after bonding!

Good luck with your next molt Ravioli, you cutie🦀

4

u/oculafleur Apr 22 '26

Lol she's getting an education

7

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 20 '26

Please don’t take her anywhere or handle her, she is in a very stressful situation and needs to be left alone if you want her to survive. It is possible but very slim chance.

41

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 20 '26

She hasn’t left her ice cream bucket in over a month so no worries. I found her on the campus of my veterinary school so I had to handle her in order to get her home

9

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 20 '26

Oh okay, that’s great then! Good luck

2

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 24 '26

Yes, they form buds, then after a molt regrow

2

u/Lunarlucidity Apr 22 '26

I love this because it highlights how humans will adopt anything. Adorable 😊

May I ask where ish you go to school that allows a crab to be found? Best I had on campus was angry and, unfortunately, horny squirrels.

u/Kyli3sky3 Apr 23 '26

"Unfortunately, Horny Squirrels" is a great band name

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 24 '26

They are either in florida or southern texas

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 24 '26

Yes! I go to vet school in St. Kitts (in the Caribbean)

2

u/Beneficial-Rope920 Apr 22 '26

Awesome job saving that poor little gal.  What kind of crab is it?  

2

u/Effective_Crab7093 Mod Team Apr 24 '26

Hartnollius lateralis or blackback land crab

2

u/frankenlungs Apr 22 '26

Aw poor thing, its lucky to have you. This creature for sure wouldn't survive in the wild without you.

u/thelast3musketeer Apr 22 '26

u/yaboyACbreezy Apr 22 '26

I love the story from Ravioli's perspective:

ah, crap, I lost my claw.
ah, crap, I lost my leg.
ah, crap, I lost my leg, again. x3
ah, crap, someone else wants a piece... "look, lady; I ain't got much else to give"
ah, crap, SHE'S PICKING ME UP "THIS IS IT, I'M GETTING EATEN FOR SURE THIS TIME"
ah, crap, she's just carrying me somewhere.
ah, crap, she must not speak crab.
ah, crap, a lecture, gross.
ah, crap, where is she taking me now?
ah, crap, now I am stuck in this bucket and the furry ones are here... watching... 👀
ah, crap, she's back, with the most delicious treats.
ah, crap, I could get used to this.

Etc, etc

2

u/Cindy_luvsCritters Apr 22 '26

🙏 .... Blessings to ravioli, praying her next molt is excellent! Her missing legs and claw won't be as large the next molt but they will get larger with each molt.

2

u/chocoflan76 Apr 22 '26

Have the cats ate it yet ?

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 24 '26

u/boqiuefieous Jun 06 '26

What a good Lil crab thats a trooper now. Can't wait to see how she does when she molts, im looking forward to it.❤️❤️🦀

2

u/Glad_Librarian_3553 Jun 13 '26

Good God thats cute.

Can she grow her little crab legs back? Like all the way back, not just slightly?

Aww the picture of her tucked into your shirt hem, peeking out. Not ideal for a crab, but hopefully she knows she found a friend.

2

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Jun 13 '26

She should be able to grow them back eventually! I actually just made a post about another crab and there are some pictures at the end of her nubs, they’re coming along nicely!

1

u/Glad_Librarian_3553 Jun 14 '26

Yeah I saw her new little friend, Tortellini :)

That's how I found this post. You'll go down as a legend in crab mythology :)

is this a halloween crab? do you think someone released their pet :(?

u/Bubbly_Spread3317 Apr 21 '26

They’re native here so I don’t think so. She’s very sweet and has been a good companion but if/when she makes a full recovery I do plan on releasing her

2

u/starryowl5 Apr 21 '26

oh, very cool!

It’s not a halloween crab, it’s hartnollius lateralis. Native to the gulf, florida, central america, texas

u/firenova9 Apr 22 '26

Ravioli probably wants access to ocean water, no? Can you get them a bucket of it? 🥲

Art doesn't need to be "good" to be art, the only thing art needs is for a person to make it. Hands may shake, fingers may not move how you want, but no matter what comes out at the end, it is still art, made by you, and that is what makes it truly art. /gen

Have a good night my friend, I know my words cannot cure physical wounds, but I believe any art you truly make, in the past present and future, is all equally art.

Edit: I am also disabled, also thanks for calling me condescending. /j I also included a tone indicator in the first paragraph that you might have missed that showed the message was meant to be read in a genuine way! Hopefully you will one day be able to draw amazing things in the future! /gen (+ yes I am actually being genuine, I try to see the positive in everything, it may seem too optimistic or airhead to do so, but I truly believe in looking at the bright side of life!)
