i have a bait fridge but not if to put them in yet as they are not popped their shells yet

i keep mine in bucket's in the shed/garage.give them a drink of sea water each day and seperate the popper's from the harder ones.keep the popper's in the fridge to hold them at that stage till u want to use them.

don't let them get too hot either in the shed.also put a layer of weed over them whilst in the bucket's.

get hold of one of the garden type sprayer things and give the one's in the fridge a spray now and again,also don't leave any water in with your crab's or they will rot and die.any that do die chuck away.....dave.

in the biggest bucket or plastic box you can find. either under sea weed or damp news paper. check them every day and when you can just feel the crack put them in the fridge to hold them off.
