I can't find the damn things....my two year old got into the lil box they were in. Now I have two of my other kidz screaming their heads off at her! Yeesh.
I remember when my friend got all drunk and let her lil chihuahua out by accident. The guy she picked up at a bar ran the thing over. TOTAL BOTTOMS OUT for my bud. Woke up with a UTI and her dog flattened on her driveway.
Thank GOD! I don't drink or drug it up like before. I don't know how I would explain THAT one to my kids...
"Mommy? Who was that man that was here last night....and why is Monkey sleeping on the driveway?"
or....worse yet....
"Can we get a bigger dog this time?"
Kids...and their lil way of thinking. Somebody has to be an adult around this madhouse.
So...I'm hunting for crabs.
Beats getting 'em I suppose.

Just thinking...

LOL! Good luck finding them. We have two hermit crabs...Nemo and Dori.

Aysha

LOl I love crab cakes.
Cant say I ever went looking for crabs before.


Good luck...Poor kids..I bet they are pissed

lilbit

I just hope the damn dog doesn't eat 'em!

lilbit

One was painted like Spongebob...the other...a big old red ladybug. Gonna run the Kirby vac around...hopefully they won't be in the path of my duty.
I was told they climb all over the place. Like real high. So...I'm keeping my head up. Probably end up in my bed...like everyone else around here...dog too! I am the pesk whisperer...

I would NOT be closing my eyes tonight until those babies are located!! YIKES

lilbit

I gotta find these things before my mother-in-law "stops by". I'm gonna hear about it if I don't.
I don't know which would be worse...the things crawling around pass her toes....or them dead and stinking up the room somewhere.
In the first situation...I would be judged for bugs and varments...
Second scinario...my home smells like dead things.
OH! And the mullberry tree is stinking up my driveway! Like old rotten bum wine! I walk out to the trash and get all sentimental. It's that same smell from walking into the bar you were in the night before...and wanting a drink....minus the urine....THE SMELL THAT IS...rotten mullberry....
Geesh...I'm tired...going to sleep now.
Hope the crabs get back into their lil home.
Keeping HOPE alive!

Now that you mentioned the outlaw coming for a visit .. I think I'd let the critters stay out for a day or two ...

tommyk

Lilbit - surely they have names (like Nemo & Dori), just call them.

Rowan

here, kitty kitty kitty ...

tommyk

Just for the record - if someone painted me like Spongebob or a ladybug, I'd hide too.



(But.. thanks for the description info, if I see them around here I'll contact you.)

flgirl

They can be ornery little things!

lilbit

Still can't find 'em...this would make a great children's story....from the crab's view.
I'm still hunting for 'em....any tips would help...

bugsworth

No tips, but thanks for the early morning laugh! Best of luck finding them!

resentful wife

Which ever room they were let loose in they will look for a dark cubby hole. Place a small piece of raw chicken in the area they will find it. Good luck!

"finding nemo"???

jee i live in kansas - can i get pet hermit crabs from a pet shop? what do they eat?

tommyk

Go out and get a third crab.

The other two may come out of hiding to greet it, sponsor it, share their experiences, strengths, and hopes.

wellgrrl

Hopefully you don't have any extra shells lying around. They'll take a new home. Or I wonder if they'd co-opt something like a kid's toy? Can you imagine...a hermit crab with a toy truck or car for a shell? Big pimpin'!

Seriously, hope you find them. For you & the kiddos.

They are real climbers, look on curtains or anything that is not real smooth.
