Hermit Crab

I now know more, much more, on the subject of the Hermit Crab than I would have thought possible. My son's first grade class has been studying them for a few months, and as the culmination of that work, he's bringing one home tomorrow. (Or rather, I'm picking one up tomorrow morning before school starts.) I must admit, though, I agreed to this without any real understanding of the depth of the responsibility involved — and the more I read, the more responsibility there seems to be.

But they seem to eat just about anything. That's something.

A small habitat has been set up in the office (setting up the home for a hermit crab — outside of it's shell, that is — can be a surprisingly expensive proposition), and I've promised to buy another to share it with the one that will be coming home from school. (I just hope I have better luck than I did with the Betta.)
