The New Pet!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you… Crappy the Crab!

An extremely great escape artist, Crappy is always trying to find a way out of the tank. In fact, he actually succeeded once and managed to climb on top of the filter! I was so shocked that I immediately rolled up a piece of paper to try to push him back into the tank. He fell back in himself out of fear in the end, haha, he should be more shocked than me. Yanwen told me that his constant effort in trying to escape shows how unhappy he is with his life in the tank and I should do some soul searching as his owner. LOL.

Since he’s like the novelty pet in my family, everyone loves to disturb him. Everyone will definitely put their hand into the tank and try to see what he will do, of which he will almost always run away and hide inside his hole under the logs. Sometimes my dad will even put in a piece of raw prawn as a treat for him and it’s always interesting to see him feed.

Now I’m actually hoping for the day Crappy actually molts, because that will mean that he is comfortable with his environment and is in good health. Maybe I will get him some “Crab Cuisine Pellets” because maybe only those pellets contain those essential minerals and nutrients he needs.

For now, Crappy is always seen contemplating his next move in climbing out of the tank and trying all kinds of tricks he can think of. But of course, I have shifted the positions of the logs so that it is just too big a leap for him to climb out. MUAHAHAHA!

So before he climbs out and disappear, here’s another close up of Crappy. Enjoy it while he’s still in the tank. LOL.
