If you're having a hard time getting your hands on this product you could try administering multiple shots of melatonin, although more difficult, it still works. If you're having a hard time wrangling these little buggers you can buy ourīMBR (Black Mesa Biological Research) SLEEPING INJECT TM, and just inject the crab with it and it should fall asleep so you can debeak it. In order to tame a Fast Headcrab you do basically the same thing as you would to tame a regular Headcrab, you just need a good way to wrangle them so they don't get away. If you don't know what you're doing please consult with one of our Black Mesa biological research scientists. Taming them isn't too difficult if you know what you're doing. The Fast Headcrabs are easier to tame but they still have their natural speed. Poision and Fast, Poison Headcrabs are notably the most dangerous of the group but they are easier to keep as pets if you follow the right safety precautions.

Surprisingly there aren't just normal Headcrabs, but they also have a genetically modified form which can still work as pets!Įasy, after the Combines rule on earth came, they took advantage of what was already here and genetically modified Headcrabs. Here is an example of how you should and shouldn't hold them: Headcrabs like being up high, making your head a comfortable place for them, if you don't want them sitting on your head you can try a new position. Now that you've debeaked your Headcrab it's safe to handle them. Using a numbing product may also help to slow the pain. Then you just want to carefully cut the beak off using surgical scissors, you can use something else sharp, but it will be harder.Īfter debeaking them use something to prevent them from getting an infection and it's probably best you leave them alone somewhere they can rest.

First, it's advised that you use a healthy sleeping product on them like melatonin or you can buy ourīlack Mesa Biological Research Xenian Sleeping Formula, which we commonly use to get samples of Xens wildlife, and just in case you were wondering: NO, YOU MAY NOT USE CHLOROFORM!!!Īfter using one of these products you'll want to expose their ample interior by carefully turning them over so their facing up, the beak should be pretty well exposed. This is what makes them like a parasite and having a non-debeaked Headcrab is very dangerous.ĭebeaking a Headcrab isn't too hard as long as you're careful and patient. Headcrabs have this hidden "beak" and it's used for gnawing through objects. Before handling a Headcrab, let alone trying to tame one, you need to do one thing first you need to get them debeaked.
