Hermit Crabs

This is Sylvester, the hermit crab of a co-worker that I am pet-sitting while his family is on vacation. He's pretty low key. He stays inside his cave most of the afternoon, chillin'. I found him this morning digging holes by his food dish and getting sand in his water. And I'm told he likes carrots, so I put some in his dish....we'll see if he nibbles them.

I think I will find some other shells to put in his enclosure - I hear crabs like to have a few choices about what shell to wear. Must be one of the few fashion-conscious pets out there....well, that fashion is not thrust upon like dressing up your dog or cat.
