Shelldon and Beachnut here with a very special edition of Crabby Monday to introduce our Mango Minster entry for the Adventure Animals category! If you haven't checked out MM, click on it to see the full scoop. You don't want to miss this fun-filled, action-packed event!
First, a little about us. Here we are:
We are Hermit Crabs.
We live in a crabitat in Sarge's house. It has two pools for us, one salt water and one fresh water. We have a food bowl that "The Hands" keep full of tropical yummers for us. We eat things like oranges, coconut, pecans, walnuts, salmon, tuna, peas, and we like to crunch on egg shells. Speaking of shells, we grow, and as we do, we get too big for our current houses, so we pick a new, bigger shell and move into it. I, Shelldon, already did this once since we moved here in November. "The Hands" even got to see it! That's kinda rare because we are mostly night critters. We two girls get along pretty well. Basically, we ignore each other and go about our crabby business. We are very happy to be part of Blogville and we are looking forward to attending the upcoming Valentine's Day Dance with our date Turkle. He's kinda dreamy and has a very handsome shell.
Okay, now for the Adventure Animal part of the post. We are small, but mighty! Check this out:
That's me, Shelldon having a snack.
Check out the claw work!
We fight with the big one (when we need to), but eat with the smaller one. See it?
Now, this one is more adventurous.
This is me, Shelldon hiking my way right through this big bush in my crabitat.
And this is me, Beachnut heading for some surfing in my fresh water pool!
I like to swim a lot.
This is me, Shelldon taking a plunge.
How about this uphill hike!
Shelldon here, playing the adventurous climber! That's my specialty. I love to climb and for my most daring feat, I like to clamp my claws on the glue seam in the corner of my crabitat and haul myself up, up, way, way up to the tippy top!
Half way there....
Woah...look at that air!
We also like to go rock climbing.
And we're not strangers to a bit of gaming either!
Crab craps anyone?!?
And you already saw our videos, but what could be more exciting than being
famous and working in Hollywood?!?
famous and working in Hollywood?!?
So, there you go. We think we are very adventurous considering our size and that we're girly girl grouches. Crabby and all, we think we're pretty stiff competition and we're looking forward to the big event. Thanks for following along and checking out our entry and our crabby thanks to Mango for hosting this amazing show for all of us.
Little Pinches,
Shelldon & Beachnut
