They've maybe run off to get married and will come back after the honeymoon.

You'll maybe have lots of baby crabs as a wee suprise.

this is insane........how far could the little buggers go??
they're probably right behind you all the time laughing at you..........lol

they're the best hide and seek players EVER!!!!!!!

I have an idea. Leave all the doors inside your house open, but keep the doors leading outside closed so they can't escape the house. Then set up a make-shift beach in your sitting room in front of the TV - if you have a DVD with loads of beach scenes and sound effects then you're on to a winner.

Then put some blankets and a picnic on the floor and just fall asleep on the floor (with your beach DVD playing in a loop) dressed for the beach, leaving your bare feet exposed.

You'll wake up in the morning and I can almost guarantee, they'll be there - clinging to your toes.

I dunno if the beach blanket deal is gonna work...I know what those things are thinking (yes...I'm now the Hermit Crab Whispererrr) "Go ahead lady...look all ya want! We ain't going back into THAT cage until those kids leave for college!"
Can't really blame 'em.

I'm sorry you still can't find them-but I have to say this is such a hilarious thread!Thanks for the laughs and I do hope they show up eventually.Preferably alive

Ananda

so how long can they live without sea water? and how long can they live without food? I've grown attached to the tykes.....

Impurrfect

I, too, love coming to this thread to get a laugh...thanks!

lilbit

I just "deep cleaned" the girls room...no crabs.
They just need a high humidity...a lil water...and I guess...whatever the kids throw on the floor (as food).
I think by NOT finding them...my mother-in-law has MORE ammo...like the damn things can survive in my house THIS LONG!!!
Geesh...
Oh..here's the funny part...my huzband just informed me there were actually FOUR of 'em!
Now I look really bad...

lilbit

Putting down a new linoleum floor...and there...behind the water cooler...THERE HE WAS!

suki44883

HeavyJ

Set him free, don't put him back in jail. Just cut the linoleum around him....

suki44883

LOL @ heavyj!

Ananda

don't you mean the other 3????? I hope he was still alive!!!! maybe they had babies while they were loose!!!!!

Impurrfect

One down, 3 to go? Glad you found one of them!

tommyk

Okay, fess up... who here has the crabs?

Impurrfect

Not me...my cats would think they were a treat!

So, is spongebob back in custody?

Klynn33

LOL

of course........was probably dying of thirst, what a better place to be than by the water cooler.

smart little thing.........

adore79

LOL lilbit, you know turtles are slower, and are easier to find.

Klynn33

oh I don't know about the turtle comment. My ex had one - not sure what kind, but he was huge. kept him on the deck in a kids swimming pool. one night it rained (a lot) and the pool overflowed and in the morning Patrick was ......gone......
searched everywhere, no clue where he could have gone. poor Patrick.

(did I mention my ex wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer?...)
