Mine only bury their shells. But a food dish? Were they saving it for later? Lol
Maybe. I use scallop shells for dishes

Fred back on the wheel, while Lionel is munching on an oak branch that he dragged into his hide.

I guess Fred got a workout ‘cause he’s chowing down on some bee pollen. Little Alexander is in the back thinking about some honey.

This is the new guy, Nemo. Watch the upper right. He falls into the pool.

This is the 1st meeting between Dory, the newest, and who knows. I was sure Dory was being eaten.

Then a couple of minutes later...

Then...a couple of days later...

Dory doesn't seem to remember that the big guy has been bullying her. (no idea if him or her) or she's very brave.

Silly crab. Such a show off but guess it didn't work out for him. Took him a while to get out.

I'm glad that everyone has gotten used to and taken to exploring the new cork round I bought for them at the All Ohio Reptile Show! They didn't touch it for the first couple of weeks when I got it in June. :)

Getting into trouble! This is why I love them so much. That last one, where I am holding one, she just came up from her first successful molt with me, and such a pretty color compared to before! :) I normally never hold them but I wanted to get a pic of that pink! Bet she was upset lol. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
