I don't do anything special, remember they are scavengers and they will find food. I just feed them what I feed the adults. Fish flakes and shrimp pellets.

I've been feeding them blood worms. unfortunately something in the freeze dried blood worms hatched. it looks like little dots that are jumping around on the water surface what is it and will it harm me.

they are most likely not from the blood worms.....I have them in my shrimp tank which has never seen blood worms. They are probably Copepods of some kind. Which to my understanding are completely harmless and pretty common place in nearly all aquariums

So... what do I do to get rid of them. I don't want any jumping on me and then having it live around the house

I read that any bigger crayfish and even parents will attack and eat smaller crayfish.
It's better to separate babies and provide hiding places where just molted crayfish can hide until its new shell become harder.
