The Great Hermit Crab Escape

Joshua recently chose hermit crabs as his very own little pets to keep.  He did a great job of researching them, finding out how to care for them, feed them, keep them safe and happy, and generally, how to be the best crab owner ever.  He carefully selected the two best crabs from the local PETCO selection and made quick work of creating a luxurious home for them. When he left to spend the weekend with grandparents in Waco last Friday, he made a long list of do's and don't's for us on how to care for these little creatures.  When Trey asked if he could help, Joshua carefully instructed him on how to care for them ... You can only hold them twice a day.  They need one spritz of water in the morning and one in the evening.  Be sure to keep my ceiling fan off and turn on the humidifier at night; they need humid air to breathe.  Don't give them too much food, but replace it by Sunday or it will get stale.  Use the scoop to clean the sand but don't get any...
