why does my lobster hide away all the time2007-11-24 23:43:15

i know they are nocturnal but he doesnt even come out when the light is off at night

Answers:

Small aquarium lobsters are quite shy and would rather remain hidden. A trick so you can watch him and he still keep his privacy is to arrange the rocks in such a way that the interior of a small cave is visible from the glass. Then take a small piece of dark paper and cover that part of the glass (from the outside). Whenever you want to spy on him, you remove the paper and have a great view of his home.

Maybe you should buy a book that lets you know it's easier

Maybe he's just shy : )

It is just their nature to hide under things in dark areas. They don't tend to wander out much.sorry

---

Maybe it's just your face

Doesn't want to end up in a bisque?

---

Mine only came out once..now he is back in the sea.burp!!

---

scared he might get eaten

He thinks you may be in the mood for lobster as a meal,or you may look hungry when you see him.

---

Maybe he's noticed the pot of water boiling on the cooker?

---

He just needs to come out of his shell!

---

Maybe he just doesn't like you?

good trick with lobsters, if u put them in hot water and add stethascope(sp) to the water u can hear the lobster scream, its actually air rescapig from the shell but its a good trick to play on people

Oh my god you've never got a lobster!! i'm sorry but I hate them I'm squirming at the thought, what does it do have a little walk about at night ohhhhhhhhhh I'll not sleep tonight now.

Maybe he's had relatives that have been eaten, and he's scared that if he comes out he'll get picked out the tank and get turned into a Thermador with side salad.
