AUSTRALIAN MUD CRABS

20180113_211919.jpgAustralian mud crab. Our mud crabs have a life span of 3-4 years and then they die. They are a staple part of our diet with clean fresh meat and are mostly active between September to march. The way we catch them is by setting traps in the water and baiting them with fresh fish.
You have to be very careful when handling them because if they get hold of you, they can cause terrible pain, there are many cases of people loosing fingers and toes because of the power of their claws.

Here we can see elegance in posture, and the slight raising of her paw indicates complete femininity.
Notice how the leather collar with name tag and bell highlight the clarity in her eyes.

Now we see her letting go of all anxiety and completely relaxing allowing herself to enjoy a well earned cuddle.
But at the same time not relinquishing her cuteness or compromising her raw beauty.

They say in the modelling industry, work, rest and play is crucial.
