Hermie is ALIVE!!

Today, Carter brought me "Hermie" his hermit crab and told me he thought he was dead.We ran a few tests, like blowing inside the shell, running water over him, and poking his little pincher-he did not come out. It was official..."Hermie" had died. Carter was very, very, sad. We decided to take him outside and bury him. While we were digging (brogan was) Carter looked at "Hermie" and said, "WAIT, I see his antenna".
HERMIE IS ALIVE!!
We almost buried him alive. (that wouldn't win me any mom awards, that's for sure!)

Lesson learned.......Hermit crabs do not move much and come out ONLY when THEY want to...not when you blow on them or even try to drown them in water.


And...Yes I took pictures! :)
