@ crabaddict. I agree in the first picture it looks the his nails may be sharp but in the other two It looks like they aren't at all! 4ever does his color look any different to you from the last time you saw him?

That was a good choice.

Tonight's dinner: Baked organic chicken, dark meat w/cracked bone brown rice steamed organic spinach baked rutabagas Crabs loved it, so did my husband! The rutabagas especially were popular with the PPs; several were sharing the dish, stuffing their mouths... The E's didn't touch it, but they were ...
