Are You a Crab?

Lately I have been discussing habitats with my daughter who will proudly tell you she has crabs. Of course,  this may mean something quite different to you than it does to a 10 year old. She just means she has 2 pet fiddler crabs named May and June and they are in a plastic container with bright blue rocks, a "swimming hole", a tree and other items necessary to simulate a "natural" environment in which they can flourish, lose their outer shell, play, swim and eat. So far, our "natural" habitat is working. But are we missing anything? Are the sounds of our household a problem - they really aren't typical for a crab habitat? I don't really think it will be a problem.
But what about intrusions into our everyday lives that are our of the ordinary. Intrusions like too much noise, nastiness and other unwarranted stresses can be as very toxic to a living environment. Hmmm...

FYI - fiddler crabs are about an inch long. The males have one larger claw than the other; hence "fiddlers". They are not used to make soft shell crabs (click for recipe).

Well, gotta go tend the crabs now. They are molting.

If you really love crabs but don't want the responsibility, this personalized self inking stamp is for you ($40). Use it over and over again.
