A crab in Xiaoliuqiu recently wandered right up to someone’s front door, laid its eggs there, and scurried away. Concerned about the unhatched baby crabs, the person who lives there took them to the beach and released them into the sea.
- Why are you laying your eggs here?
The person living here caught a crab laying its eggs by her front door. It then fled the scene, leaving her perplexed as to what to do.
- Where are you going? What about your eggs? Hey!
Unable to just leave them by her front door, she searched online for how to care for crab eggs. She put them in water to help them hatch and took them to Vase Rock. After seeing tiny baby crabs starting to emerge, she released them into the sea.

Saw crab laying eggs
Information online said they need to feel ocean waves before they will hatch. They need to feel the water is flowing, so I swirled them around a bit.
This homeowner in Xiaoliuqiu heard a noise outside her house and opened the door to find a crab laying its eggs right there. An expert said the crab may have abandoned its eggs because it was startled.
Voice of Ku Ching-fang
Crab expert
She gave the baby crabs a chance to survive. It might have left its eggs because it was frightened.
June to October is when crabs tend to migrate and lay their eggs. With more tourists by the sea in summer, crabs are often run over by vehicles. Conservationists reminded drivers they should slow down to protect any wildlife in their path. In this case, a crab left its eggs far from the shore, but the person who discovered them was kind enough to help them hatch and return them to the sea.
