Some Neat-o Pics!

Hey! While on vacation I saw a lot of little coral reef crabbies in calm tide pools. Here are some pictures that I snapped:

I snapped a lot more, but they turned out blurry. :( There were lots of these little crabs!

Well, the crabs in my tank are doing good. They seem to like the beach sand. Gumbo is and has been in the cocohut (the one that is hanging down) for a while. Now he is (I think) in one of the cocohuts. there is a nice pile of sand out side of one. Let's hope he actually molts this time!!



Gumbo changed into a tapestry turbo. It looks great on him except he can fit all the well in it! His claws and legs stick out! I need to buy a large tapestry, the color looks great on him!!
See?

Well, I got this idea from a member at HCP (Hermit Crab Paradise) to have a journal for just your crabs. A page would be assigned for each crab you own. Don't you think that's a good idea? I might try it. I have an extra notebook I could use!

BYE!

HI!!! I AM BACK!

Hello people! I am back from vacation! I had a lot of fun! I brought home some sand from the beach (*I baked it today!!) and some ocean water also. More abotu that later.

Well, when I first got home, UP TO THE CRABS! I had to check on them. I could only see three of them, Gumbo, Little Red, and Hollywood. I was going to search fro the other two (Peanut and Qwerty) but my mom wanted me to unload the car some more. Finally when I was done I checked out the tank. I found Peanut, don't remember where though. Then I found Qwerty, burried. I was a little shocked becuase he molted about a month ago so I didn't think he would go down any time soon. Then I unburried him, thinking I had messed up his little cave. To my surprise I see a VERY freshly motled Qwerty muching away at his exo. Looked like he had just finished molting a few hours ago (yeah, that fresh!). I hope he is all okay. I placed a cocohut over him. He reburried him self a bit but stupid Gumbo dug around in there SOOO I kicked out Gumbo and covered the cocohut entrence with a rock.

Well, I redid the tank and added the beach sand and ocean water to it:

See, to the left where there are rocks that's where the beach sand is (Gumbo burried himself over there in a corner). The cocohut with leaves aboce it is suposed to give the effect of a palm tree, lol.
















SO MUCH MORE TO SAY but g2g eat dinner!

VACATIONNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOO-HOOO! I am so excited! I cannot wait until I am at the beach feeling the sand between my toes...!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So wonderful . I am leaving tomorrow (June 16th) and i am coming back on June 25th, so I hope ya don't miss me. If I can find a computer with internet access (i doubt I will) I will post here, ok? Sound good?

Well, i froze all 8 bags of hermie food today, it was tirering! But I am happy I got it done.

Bye! I will be back on the 25th!!!!!!!!!!!!

A LOT OF PICTURES!

Well, I had a party for my crabbies yesterday. I made them a little town/mall area, lol. I added more last night, but anyways....Well, only three of the hermies, Hollywood, Little Red, and Qwerty, got to play in it because I couldn't find Peanut and Gumbo is possibly molting. But it was so much fun. It was like in the beginning when I just had three....lol.
<--The crabs are released:



They, of course, head straight for the JUNGLE gym (haha, get it?):









Little Red~





Hollywood~








Little Red was teh first to excape!







more pics soon. these aren't all of them not even HALF of them! For soem reason I cannot put in any more on this post. COME BACK SOON!

I've Got More Pics!!

Well, Qwerty, as you may have noticed, is my most photo-genic hermie! He is always posing (as my mom puts it). Well, last night I finally got a good picture of Peanut in his newish shell:



That's the food that I made last night, it looked good to me! Peanut and Qwerty I saw eating it, so it must have been yummy (and very healthy).

Here's Qwerty eating some:

Here's Qwerty agian. It's not focused, sadly, because it would have been a good picture:









Well, that's it for now!!!

Some 'Ta Pics!

Well, I got some pictures of the crabby tank! I saw Peanut, but then he freaked out and back up back into the cocohut. :( PEANUT! lol.

BTW, I re did the tank a few days ago, and I also rearranged my room!

Here's Little Red in the cocohut hidin' in his shell:

Feeding crabs coconut, rasberries, carrots, almonds, egg shells, peanut butter, apple sauce. I really wish I could have found the honey!

HOLLYWOOD SHEDDED!

YAY! I am so happy! I found Hollywood today, still in the cocohut, but he was pale! YES! He has finally molted. It's weird, because I see, NO EXO laying around! Maybe he's been "molted" for a while and I didn't know... The picture isn't all that great, but I was just trying to snap one real quick before he moved. Anyways, Little Red is still under....

*runs to check Little Red*

Yep, still under, but I don't see any exo left over so maybe he will come up tomorrow or over the weekend or something! I hope so!!!!

I wonder if Gumbo has shedded his exo yet??? He's still burried in the cocohut, I can see him though. :) He didn't burry himself very well. Also, earlier I was wondering how well Hollywood and Gumbo will get along?? I can just imagin a shell fight! Hollywood has a really cool spiky Pink Virgin shell on and Gumbo has a plain Whale's Eye shell...Well, let's just hope they can get a long.

Well, bye!!

FINALLY NEW PICCIES!

YES! Last night I got a good picture! I am pleased with it!
Qwerty is the crab just sitting there, and Peanut is the one climbing! I was really amazing to see Peanut so active last night! He was crawling on top of the cocohut, behind it and in it! I AM SO PROUD! He is usually in the same little corner for days....!!!!! Now he is all hyper!

PS- I got my hair cut today! It's real short!

Vacation Trip!

Hi! I cannot wait until vacation! MYRTLE BEACH! It's only next week! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!
I still haven't gotten any new pictures. the camera is almost dead! But I did get some video taping of the hermies! But I am not sure how to put that on here....I will play around with that tomorrow.

YAY! I am so happy!

Hello!
WOO! It's the summer now! YES! Yesterday I slept over at my friend's house. We played with her guinea pigs! We put them in our sleeping bags and they really liked it. They wouldn't want to come out. It was really fun.

I never really talked about guinea pigs on here before, but I really love them. I've wanted them for like, a year and a half! My parents (my mom, actually) doesn't want one!!! :( But I am happy because I get to baby sit my friend's (not the one I slept over at) piggie! I've done it before, it's so much fun. My mom actually didn't mind him being there. His name is Oreo. My friend doesn't really play with him, only when I come over. :( So I am going to give him lots of floor time so he can get some excersise! I will be sure to take lots of pictures on post them here, he's going to be over here for 2 whole weeks!!!

Here's a picture of Qwerty I took about a week ago:



He climbed up the peice of choya! LOL!
Peanut is at the bottom, you can barely see him.
OH YEAH! Peanut changed shells!!! He's in a blue/green turbo! It's too big for him (which annoys me becuase there are tons of other shells that are EXACTLY THE SAME that are the right size in the tank) I'll try to get some pictures of him.


My friend (the one I slept over at) and I went to Petland yesterday. We held the bunnies and piggies and looked at the hermies (which, by the way, were in horribly condition, AS ALWAYS!) One on the cats threw up and I told a clerk guy. It took him forever to get off his computer and clean it up, poor kitty!! And One of the birds flew out of the cage thing so I had to go tell a clerk girl and she caught it.

I'm At School!!

HI!!! I am at school! It's the last day! We were supposed to go to a water park, but it rained, and it's all yucky out sade so now we have to go to a indoor pool! It's so small and it's not taht fun, well, I am still thankful we can still swim. We can do other things besides swim, like, there's a game room and stuff. I still rather go to the water park!!!

It's also pretty cool outside, so that's another bummer!! :( But hey! It the last day of shcool, I should be happy.

I brought my crab stuffed animal, lol, his name is Claude! He's so cute. Oh yeah, i am sleeping over at Kayanna's tonight! I can't wait! It's gonna be fun.

Well, I am gonna go, bye!
