A few days ago I wrote a post about a new hermit crab I got named Digger. Funny thing is, right after I got done writing that post, I got up and seen him looking around his new home. He seemed to be very content with it, and was getting along great with my other two crabs, but when I got up the next morning Digger was no where in sight. I looked through the whole tank, lifting up there log, and huts, but there was no trace of Digger, except for the little tunnels he had dug in the sand. I even looked through all the sand in the tank to see if he had buried himself in it, but he was no where to be seen. The only thing I could think of was that he had somehow escaped from the tank, and got loose in the house. So I looked everywhere in the house, and could not find him. The only way I can see that he could have got out, is by climbing up the corners of the tank where there is silicone for him to grasp on to. I have heard that it is possible for hermit crabs to do this, but did not give it a second thought. I guess I will have to invest in a glass, or screen top to cover the top of there tank, so no more of my crabs can escape, and ultimately die, by either freezing to death in are house, or by being played with to death, by are cats, and dog. I hope he turns up before its to late, and he can’t be saved. One way or another, I know i will find him, either by the stink of him rotting somewhere in the house (ewww :P), or by seeing him somewhere roaming around.
