Answer 2

I've kept crawfish before, not to eat, but for pets and I had a rough time. First of all, if there are more than one keep them in seperate containers or else they will eat eachother. You can use an old fish tank, a bucket or even your bathtub. But you do have to figure out if they came from salt, fresh or a mixture of both types of water so you can keep them in that type. Make sure they have something like deli meat or chicken, any type of meat to eat but make sure you soak it in the water that they live in before you give it to them. With this method they should last 2 weeks at the most without refilling their containers, but unless you really want to eat them or they're really important youy shouldn't bother keeping them becasue it's hard to do.
