Re: Crab watch

Jesse--tell me about your baby turkeys. I raised several crops in the mid-80s and really got to be quite fond of them. I had a big, old, very tame male--named Tom [what else]--that I used to take to kindergarten classes at the local schools so the tots could get up close and touch him. He would gobble on command, which delighted the kids, of course, and occasionally terrified the teachers. Tom, who weighed almost 30 pounds, loved to ride in my truck. It was never a problem to get him into the passenger's seat. I just had to open the door and he would half-fly, half-scramble into the seat. The best part was driving down the freeway with Tom as copilot. Talk about double takes!

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT MY BABY TURKEYS!!!! WOOOOOO. I'm going to go home
and play with them tonight! They are so stinking cute I can hardly stand 
it. I need to go and see if Lady Chatsworth is sitting on eggs yet. She
has not been coming up to the barn much.

That's right! I forgot about that. I had several shells in my container and it seemed like they played "musical shells" a lot. They would try on 
shells until they found just the right one. And when it left it's old
shell, one of the other ones would go try his shell on for size. Too
funny.

Well, if it hasn't moved by morning, I'll go buy it a couple of
additional options. Thanks for the advice.

We used to keep a variety of empty whelk shells available for them
(had them in a touch tank at the Museum in Charleston) and they would 
run around checking each on out before they chose. You might need a
couple more shells Jim. Those little guys can be picky sometimes!

Subject: [CHAT] Crab watch
Ms Fatma is baby-sitting a hermit crab this summer. A week or so ago we noticed that it seemed a bit large for its shell, so we purchased 
a larger one at a local souvenir shop. For the first few days, it
dragged the new shell all around its tank--into its water bowl, into 
its food bowl--like it was introducing a new chum to the
neighborhood. Well, last night, it parked next to the new shell,
opening to opening. We think, maybe, it's going to move into the
larger shell today or tonight.
