Great video guys! We’re very impressed with the crayfish pond….lot’s of hard work but it certainly pays off! Thanks for posting this video and hope all is well Toon & Leigh😊

[@TLFarm]

Our pleasure as always Marietta. We're looking forward to scaling up our production later this year.

[@mariettathornton5924]

@@TLFarm good luck with this 😊❤️😘

[@donquixote1502]

It's impressing what you guys have done over the years. I get tired only thinking about it 🤪 You have a great relation too 👍❤

[@TLFarm]

That's very kind of you to say thanks Donquixote. Without any doubt, the hardest times were the early years.

[@donquixote1502]

@@TLFarm Yes, it was no dance on roses in the beginning. Both health problems and so much to do. I remember.

[@ninjabreadman733]

Love eating the old red claw got dams with thousands of them on the farm always great on the bbq butterflied and cooked with butter garlic and chilli basting. Awesome growing setup you’ve got yourself

[@TLFarm]

Exactly mate. That's also our favourite way to have them. Proper luxury food in our book.

[@ninjabreadman733]

@@TLFarm better than any store bought mass farmed rubbish the supermarket has that’s for sure

[@TLFarm]

@@ninjabreadman733 definitely. I'm convinced it helps them eating a varied diet and 'naturals' in the pond. Same with mass produced shrimp and prawns fed only pellets.

Be interesting if you did a blindfold challenge to see if you could tell the difference

[@gartjone1846]

I love what you're doing. It's a real credit to you both. 🙂❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@TLFarm]

Cheers Gary, that's very kind of you. It's a nice feeling to be able to raise both crayfish and goats successfully now. As you know, it was far from easy in the earlier years.

[@StevenCasper]

Cool video, thanks. I remember as a kid many decades ago catching crayfish in the creaks. They're all gone now. Filled or too polluted. One memory my grandkids may never have of their own. But who knows, perhaps all find a place where they still exist out here so they can give it a try and make some fun memories for themselves. Enjoy your evening.

[@TLFarm]

Cheers Steven. That's said to hear. They're such delicate creatures easily killed off by pollution. It's very much a concern about the risk to wild populations.

Brilliant mate. Look forward to receiving our sets next week

[@TLFarm]

You'll love raising them mate. There's nothing better on a BBQ in our book.

[@markbrooke4100]

Very nice examples 👍

[@TLFarm]

Cheers Mark Mark. Can't wait to stock our new grow-out pond on the island!

[@gregoryfrancisjames5071]

Interesting video. Do you ever get any time off? With goats delivering twins, collecting their food, general farm work...the fish, cooking, cleaning, filming....et al. Amazing!

[@TLFarm]

We sometimes nip out for a cheeky Amazon coffee or a meal out in town once a month or so. Filming can be a bit of a squeeze with editing usually done in the evening. The cleaning always comes last on the list lol.

[@soydayaday8242]

Can you make a video and show us how you pack them and put ice before ship it would be very helpful for beginners

[@TLFarm]

Here's a link to one of our previous videos on that subject we recommended a while back. If there's anything else you'd like to know, please don't hesitate to ask and we'll help where we can: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ20i2uif7JoeqMsi=KVhdbyel4PHSfk19

Top job, Mate's.

[@TLFarm]

Cheers Joel, always appreciated matey.

[@bbqbbq7242]

happy together lol love your vlogs

[@TLFarm]

Many thanks bbqbbq. Great that you're enjoying our journey.

[@mofomoco]

Great packaging

[@TLFarm]

Thanks mofomoco. Over the years we've tried a few variations on packaging our redclaws. So the breeding sets, this has come out on top.

[@GoodComms]

You both work so hard! Great insight into what goes into farming crayfish. Very manual work. How much do you get for one?

[@TLFarm]

They're not a huge amount of work once you've got the set-up right. Just mainly tank cleans and separating berried females. Packaging orders are the main task. Our breeding sets are 1,000tbh.

[@R420-h3z]

Your comment about the male with the wider claws being a good trait. Is it really? I would have thought putting growth into the tail Vs claws would be more useful? Or do Thai’s like the claws? Selection for tail size seems more intuitive to me. Love the vids mate please keep it up

[@TLFarm]

Overall body size is definitely important, so it's not really a case of claws Vs tail. Most people prefer the tail because it's easiest to access but the claw meat is sweeter. If we could, we'd grow them with two heads because the fatty brains are the best lol.

[@R420-h3z]

@@TLFarm I do like me a deep fried prawn head… I assume it’s similar? Have you got a recipe? I haven’t seen you mention red claw brains in any vids.

[@TLFarm]

@@R420-h3z Toon doesn't use a specific recipe for them. They're just our favourite part to eat, whether it's tom yam soup or BBQ, they're fantastic. More fatty and sweeter than prawn heads.

[@mr.deejay771]

Can I ask sir I saw your berried in the plastic bowl it's OK no to put some oxygen they will not die thanks

[@TLFarm]

Here you go Mr Deejay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqKpZqivrsedo9Usi=oxSyqLq8A09mwjX5 We raise our crayfish in various different ways, some with and some without oxygen running. Basically, redclaw crayfish can tolerate low oxygen levels. But running air pumps helps to circulate the water and reduce the frequency of water changes a bit. Hope this helps you. Cheers Leigh and Toon.

[@BradGryphonn]

I'm a bit of a redclaw fan, being Aussie.

[@TLFarm]

Food of the Gods Brad. Toon and I used to eat the American Signal crayfish back in the UK, but Yabbies are way better.

[@christopherort2889]

Cool video

[@TLFarm]

Cheers Christopher, much appreciated mate.

[@tylerwallzs5987]

Do u ship internationally?

[@TLFarm]

Unfortunately, we currently only sell within the country of Thailand.

[@jaysonmareno4544]

What food you give to your crayfish?

[@derekmccormack6605]

It seems not much money on breeding to eat Leigh, mostly breeding to sell brood pairs?

[@TLFarm]

We are at the moment mate. But we've just had a huge grow out pond created on the island. It's the first of a few planned to increase our production to supply the restaurant sector.

[@derekmccormack6605]

@ nice one Leigh, I wish I had the time to do a similar project, hopefully in the future 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaulV-in7wh]

Thanks for your reply. My partner is Asian too, Bangladeshi. Would have loved to have visited, love all fishing, only have three/four months the docs say. Good luck in the future Paul
