Strawberries are the cutest but how did ypu get your hands on them? I've only ever seen PP's in pet stores even E's are hard to find

Finally got some activity. Not 100% sure but i think it's Tina. Could be Herman. Either way s/he has been dragging food about. Climbing and munching on all the cork. On top of trimming the sprouts as they come up.

Last night I rearranged some parts of my tank,changed out food and waters also well as shell cleaning and top layer sub change. Now I have some happy active crabs. I dont remember why I took out the stick but Tamatoa is glad I put it back in, she doesn't want to leave it alone. Squirt may also become a climbing stick enthusiast. Also dinner was hit with fan favorites such as bark,bugs and oatmeal. Tamatoa ran out of the log and was so happy to gobble up she flipped over the top of her shell that it covered her chest(I wish i got a picture). She was too excited to care and continued eating. For dessert, organic honey in a flat seashell and in her happiness she had accidentally flipped it over and she started eating honey cover substrate.
Later that evening she decided to inspect the quality of the new substrate layer by burying herself and making tunnels.
By morning I have dirt filled shells, a missing dessert shell,fallen decor, and plants inside a now almost empty EE littered Saltwater dish.Image
At least she had fun?ImageImageImageImage
