new crabs

Post by bennynlewie »

so my sister and her bf didnt want their large crabs anymore so i got them...i named them mo and bo and i was letting them climb around on a blanket and then mo climbed on my moms shoe and then my sisters bf said bye to him under the table and then i saw him (the bf) leave out the door and i looked under the table and mo was gone just like that in 2 seconds and so me, my mom, and my brother checked all over...and in 10 minutes we found him 3 feet away under papers...so just a hint...crabs are faster than u think :wink:

Oh yes! I have had crabs crawl around the house for as many as 5 days before my dog found them. He doesn't hunt, but he certainly does sniff about. I also have a crab named Speedy. She can walk across our 5 foot island in about 20 seconds and her legspan is only 2 inches. Imagine what could happen in 2 minutes!!
