Too funny! I always find the food from my dishes spread out and often around the outside of the dishes as well haha. It makes me wonder if they try to make little crab snow angels while eating

4 PP's:Zelda, Chancho, Parker, Frankie Sinatra

Came home this evening to find Captain Jack hogging a whole peanut to himself!!

I could hear Peanut over in a corner scratching & digging around but couldn't see him

Left a meal of sardine, popcorn, pumpkin seeds, oats & a dab of honey for them tonight

They have so many vocalizations xD my man and my friend call me the crazy crab lady because I can identify four of the noises and what they mean. Im sure im not the only one who knows the difference between stressed sounds and happy/exploring sounds lol

Its mostly because I wake up in the middle of the night and end up sitting in a dead silent room. This happens more often than it should in a normal sleep pattern.
