Houseguests



The last two weeks we watched our friends hermit crabs while they were on vacation. If you want an easy pet, even easier than fish, this is the pet for you. All we had to do was moisten the sponge and replace the food once a day. Hermit crabs are nocturnal animals, so we rarely saw them move. In fact, several times we thought we killed them, but the food was always gone in the morning. Natalie liked smashing her face against the glass to see if the crabs were moving. It was fun having a pet for a few weeks, but I don't really think we are ready for pets yet.

Looks fun ?!? What a nice friend you are. It's a good thing they were so easy, because they don't get points in the cute factor, do they?
