Cats for pets = hair on everything and cat litter tracked on the floor.
Dogs for pets = hair on most things, and dog toys un-stuffed on the floor.
Crabs for pets = sand in the sink and on the floor, and trashed tanks!

Mine do too! They like the yolks the best though. Whenever I go to Salad Works, I make sure to get the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Then I pick out all the yolks for the crabs and I eat the white parts lol.

I also have a bird, so add feathers and seeds to the mix. My fish on the other hand, pretty much keep all their mess to themselves. Except for water change day. LOL

You can make them scrambled or just put them in a mug and stir and put them in the microwave for about a minute or until done
I tried this once....walked out of the kitchen for something when they were microwaving and heard a huge "blam!" I came back in to see the egg had literally exploded out of the mug. The blob just popped up and out of it. Lol! The mug was fine though. Next time I'll just do it on a pan with some coconut oil.

I never do more than 1:30 or 1:45 and it works great. I like to use a small ceramic crock for microwave eggs. It spreads it out more so that it doesn't pop up and out.
I got these on Amazon last year. I love them!

Yw! If you use a mug, stick to just one egg. Less likely it will cause an explosion in the microwave LOL.
