The crabitat

We are now the keepers of land hermit crabs. We got porter two of them at the beach Memorial day weekend and Jared got him another one this past weekend. After some research on the creatures I have learned that they are not hermits and like company and they are fairly easy to maintain little pets.






They are fun to watch and porter can't keep his little hands out of the "quarium."
Their names are shekila, kierra, and birdie. Kierra is the one pictured above and he has already taken up residence in a new shell. We were glad because we didn't like the red one he was in. Birdie has buried herself in the sand in the cave to molt. So far this is even easier than keeping plants alive, and much more entertainment.
