They could just be nervous about one on them. I have had crabs that have chirped when picked up by someone. It just really depends on how they were treated before they got to you. Some go through alot not to mention I have seen open tanks and kids reach in to hold them and when they come out the kids I have even seen adults that get startled and drop them.

Oh, alright. It's so weird, because they just started doing it. They've been living together in my tank for about 3 weeks now. They were together even longer before that. Oh well. I guess I can't help it. I hope they all stop chirping and keeping me up at night! :P
