Hi all, I have a small pp named tiny who is very shy (never just walks around during the day) well the other day I saw her/him walking around. I picked him/her up and saw that it wasn't tiny it was one of my e's squatch in Tiny's shell (and the shell was way to small by the way) I got a little worried about tiny and started looking for him/her but I have molters down and didn't want to dig around to much. Well the next night I saw a little green shell walking around I picked it up and it was tiny and now squatch is back in his/her old shell and I can not find tiny's old shell. Could it be that the squatch took it undergroung to change and just left it there? When squatch was in tiny's shell I coluldn't find his/her shell either. Thanks for any input

it may be hiding somewhere or it was in the dirt and someone else went down near it and it got brought down. I've lost many items from my large PP taking down houses with him as he digs down.

One of my E's used to have a shell burying habit......for the simple reason he's greedy! He moved into a new shell but took 2 into the hut and buried them so no one else would use them in case he wanted them later. E's are stinkers
