Well...the cats are ones I now feed and just ...ummm...rather...ummm....dare I write this...heh-heh...enjoy.
The lil kittys keep the rabbits out of my garden. I actually enjoy seeing 'em...even look forward to seeing them out there.
I now notice I have four cats that are regulars. I named one Kitty Mow Mow.
They are outside kittys.
The hermit crabs are free range...in my home and sometimes my studio...
I'm a regular pet lady now.
And I am all the more blessed because of it.
See? We CAN change!

Well, at least your crabs are brightly painted! Makes them some easier to find. Did you know if you scratch them on the back of the shell just right they make noise?
I also had this dilemna when my kids were young...but they were in plain old regular shells. We were stupidly trying to race them!
Generally they like to burrow and do need moisture. Check your shoes before you put them on!
Unfortunately one of mine went down the heater vent in the floor and the other was never found.
Escaping is a favorite pastime, y'know?
Good luck,

When my stepson was 7, we lived at the beach. His room got really stinky, like something dead. I tore the room apart looking for the source of the stench. Two weeks later I finally found it. He'd brought a small sand crab in and hid it under the paper drawer liner in his chest of drawers! I can't begin to tell you just how bad it was! I had to wash all the clothes in the chest and scrub the drawer with baking soda. It helped some. Finally left the drawer out on the patio in the sun. Still makes me laugh to think about it, 30 years later!

My huzband is a part time commercial fisherman (like a lot of 'em) and he smells like THAT a lot...I'm not that bothered by it...cause I grew up down the shore...and the smell is just life to me.
Anyhow...the giant ladybug is in it's cage...in my art studio. I had to keep him away from my lil daughter...she is the one that is the co-conspiritor to letting these guys out.
I haven't seen SpongeBob in a while...but YES...They love sources of water.
The bathroom and the kitchen (watercooler) seem to be the hot spots for 'em.
The horse shoe crabs are the BEST around here...they are from the dinosor days...like this spelling here.
Anyhow...these giant crabs look like Nazi hats....big ol shell...gotta get a pic of one of these things...they breed at the beach down the street....and it's rare....kinda neat.
