So, Squishy has gotten a good amount larger in the past 2 months. He went through a growth spurt right when I started feeding him fiddlers rather than hermits.
Now that he's larger, hes out about the tank a lot more. Previously he would hide in his den all day. Now he's out and roaming the tank for the majority of the day.
He's taken to grabbing me when I have my hand in the tank. I hand feed him small clams (though he hunts for any live food). He'll grab me when trying to get the clam. The first few times I yanked my hand out, as it was a very odd sensation. Now I let him grab me a bit, though he tries to pull my hand into the tank. A few times he's grabbed me with 3 arms, which is tough to get free from.
So, when your octopus grabs you, what do you do? Have you let your octopus grab your whole hand? It's neat to see what he feels like, though I'm not keen on him trying to bite me...
