Default Found a hermit crab, new pet? pics...

Well, last night on my way out, i find this shell in my garage, and seeing as im a few miles from a beach or river, it kinda creeps me out when it starts running away. My mom says it must have been someones pet, becasue its pretty damn big for a hermit crab. I was gonna take it to the river or beach, but my girlfreind named it freddy, and now i kinda wanna keep it, one of those pointless pets, but what the hell.

Now heres the deal, ive stuck it in my huge garage sink,a nd made a littl ehouse for it and put water in it with a dry 89 crx bumper light platform, random garage crap. THese things are smart, every time i put something in teh sink near the wall, it would run over to it, and try to crawl out on it. I was amazed.... But what the hell do they eat.... lol. Ill probably get a tank for it and make a habitat for it, but what do they eat. Hrmmmm..... O well, had to show my fun, now that my license has been suspended and im sitting at home bored..... heres some pics....

they can eat small peaices of chicken or you can put a few pieces of dog food in there but they do get dehidrated....just put it in water for about 30 sec..no more than 2 min because they will drown...and always have a little bowl of water in there about a half inch deep ...

go to pet`s mart or similar places, they sell food or these crap, ops crab in a little bottle.
my friend has one, you don`t need to put them in water or anything, they liked it dry , just put it in a container fill it up with like 2 inch sand and put a little dish with water inside., BTW once they take a dump it will start to smells like milk.

get a sponge nad soak it in water the crab will drink from that. it's probably a tree crab since the ones in the ocean can't survive very long without sea water. train it to live in a beer can.

He sounds just about ripe, just go and cook the ----------er. Boil his ***, make yourself an entree. ---- you should be perfecting your cooking skillz instead of wasting money on a pointless pet.

I had one once, I put it in a old jar and stuck a worm in it. It died that night.. I didn't try it again, so listen to these fools. Do what doofnoil says "Train it to live in a beer can", or do what quadnie says with "cook that ****".. or cook it and baste it in beer, those taste pretty good lol.
