Pet Supermarket got me...

Post by Kacey86 » Fri Jan 08, 2016 6:02 pm

I work across the street from a shopping center, including a Publix, Dollar store, and a Pet Supermarket. On breaks I usually walk over to Publix, (passing PetSupermarket) and cannot help stopping and looking at their crabs. All in painted shells, but not in a horrible crabitat. I have been eyeing these two for a couple weeks. Always active, friendly. Broke down today and got these two home. Within 15 minutes they both changed shells and have been exploring ever since. Happy Friday!
Image Took them out after the shell changes for a quick pic.
