YummY! Down on This

Meet the new Babies.  Two hermit crabs, known in some circles as Purple Pinchers.  The dark one on the right is named Zoidberg, or Zoid for short.  Zoid is too big for that shell he is in for this picture.  Poor Zoid.  The lighter crab has no name.  Poor nameless crab.

This is where they live.  Its the 10 Gal tank I used to put my rats in when I cleaned them.  Now I gotta find something else to put my rat in, but the crabs seem to enjoy it.  I plan on figuring out a second level for them and more climby stuff.

Remember I said the shell Zoid was in was too small.  Well, no more than 10 mintues after I put them in their new home, he was checking out new shells!

However, the silly crab moved into a shell not much bigger than the one he had currently be in.  Sounds like something the actual Zoidberg (from Futurama) would do.

The crab with no name hardly came out of its shell at all, until I put it in its new home. It seems happy now.

In fact it didn’t take that one long at all to climb up to the highest point in the whole tank.

My brave little explorer crab.
