Prada's Obsession

     I'm pretty sure that no matter what I place inside the fresh food dish Prada will always only eat the raisins. It's come to the point that I put more of those then anything else. She grabs a bunch and hides them all over the tank and in the sand that I know I'm going to have to do a deep clean soon. Chloe still hasn't moved however and I don't want to force her so I've been doing spot cleans for the time being. 

     No one ate the shrimp that I know of but its fine, I gave the creepy things to my friend that owns turtles lol. I just can't deal with them. I hope they like it and if not I told him to throw them out, I never want to see them again. 

     Well, I'm still trying to find other foods she will eat but it seems that she likes fruits more the vegetables however I know she needs protein too. Ugh, why is Prada so difficult? And when is Chloe going to resurface?! As I've stated she isn't molting under there... Whatever, all in do time I guess. 

Until next time,

Canned Shrimp

     After coming home from the movies I noticed that Prada was peeking out of her hut and heard action underneath the driftwood from Chloe. Now, I thought, is a good time to add the shrimp to their fresh food bowl. I was so excited for unknown reasons and quickly washed their dishes, throwing out old food and replaced it with fresh. I then opened the can and succeeded in keeping my ground but I was so freaked out! 
     The little shrimp (and they are tiny!) still have their heads and kind of look like worms! Ugh, I hate bugs so much... Well, I quickly spooned a couple into their food dish and tossed the rest in the refrigerator hoping that tomorrow I can face them better although I'm not looking forward to it. I should have bought the freeze dried ones instead. 
     Bottom line is I hope they enjoy it and they better eat those creepy little shrimp lol. I also gave them romaine lettuce, raisins, carrot pieces, and gold fish flakes. I'm always looking for something new to introduce them too but is also healthy for them and after searching up lists of food that is great to feed hermit crabs (which is really long, by the way) I've found that most of the items are for other animals - even us. Like peanut butter is a get way for them to get protein. However some food is better to just give them the real deal, thus the shrimp. It is packed with carotene which can help my strawberry crab keep his coloring as well as Prada and Chloe :)

eww...
