The hermit crabs' week-long vacation to the Derringers' home is wrapping up: they have been packed into their travel tote, their supplies were all loaded in the car, and they were tucked away in their cozy little bakers rack for the last night. The Derringer kids are sad to see them go- they have gotten quite used to peering into the tank every time they pass by, hoping to catch a glimpse of our little crabby friends!
Here are a few highlights from the happy hermies' week:
- Mr. Crabs got a new shell
- Ranger took over the shell Mr. Crabs originally lived in when we first met him
- Home Run still has his baseball-themed shell
- The crabs tried pineapple, and seemed to like it
- Strawberries were also introduced, and they seemed to eat a bit of these berries
- The hermit crabs had a chance to eat red grapes, but they ignored the grapes
- Bath time was a big hit, especially with Ranger!
- Mrs. Derringer visited the pet store a total of seven times for "emergency" supplies, like blue plants that match the colors in her classroom...she MAY have also bought color-coordinated fabric to make the hermies a curtain...
