Our new pet - Hermit Crab


We have our new pet: Hermit Crab!

Bought them at Carita Beach around 2 weeks ago.
As we walked along the sandy beach, there was this guy who was selling hermit crab. At that time, I only wanted to show Timmy the hermit crab.
The man got lots of them in the bucket.
Small ones and big ones.

It was funny to see how they crawl and come out of their shells.
When I put my hands in front of their eyes, they would hide into their shells.

After some time, my dad decided to buy 2 for Timmy.
Then here we go, our first pet!

My brothers used to have them when we were kids.
People used to sell it in front of our school.
They would tie match box with wheels behind the hermit crab shells,
and as they walk the hermit crab would pull these tiny version of cart.
However, when I was a girl, I was not attracted to this thing.

Not until now that we own them.
I love to see they eat and fascinated by it.
We have 2, the black one and the red one.
The black one is more active and eager to roam.
While the red one is less active.
When being put into the land, the black one will roam free and explore.
The red one crawl and hide under a leaf.
