When we were in the Outerbanks, North Carolina, it seemed every other tourist place had hermit crabs. And as much as I wanted one right off, I knew we had to wait until we got home before setting up a habitat and purchasing some.
Lucky for Lexi, Daddy bought a shovel for the 4WD beach and she was able to bring home a bag of beach pebbles for a tank. Note Luke above modelling said shovel. Also note that the boy who knew he was going to the beach did not pack shorts or his own flipflops, but I digress.....
The Pratt Hermit crabs now have a lovely tank with two different kinds of water, fresh fruit daily, and lots of attention. That is Alpaca that Lexi is holding. No our pets aren't spoiled...
I brought back a much sparklier treat for myself, some beads purchased at a bead shop. I had the whole crew with me so didn't stop to make them into earrings...had to put them together when I got home! Love those dragonfly ones so much!
Happy Thursday! Hope yours was awesome and you didn't feel a bit crabby!

Wow your crabs have a palace! What a great home for them! We had 3 crabs once...a long time ago...but I won't tell you how they went to,the big sandcastle in the sky...... And why would your man child bring shorts to the beach...that would be too obvious! Have a good weekend! (Cos it is Friday night here at the moment!)
