Crayfish usually have limited home range and so they rest, digest, and eliminate their waste, most commonly in the same location each day. Feeding exposes the crayfish to risk of predation, and so feeding behaviour is often rapid and synchronised with feeding processes that reduce such risks — eat, hide, process and eliminate.
