Crabs Rise Again!

I’m so excited to tell you that all my crabs have dug up from molting. Alyssa dug up first, Madeline dug up the next day, then Fireball came up third, then last but not least, Emma came up from her molt.

Since then we’ve moved all of our crabs over to Crab Heaven, except for Emma because she is resting from her molt.

I’ve had fun watching Alyssa for the last couple of days in Crab Heaven because she is up non-stop playing and bouncing off the walls. My favorite thing to watch Alyssa do is jumping off the ceiling. Once she landed into the Jacuzzi and almost hurt herself.

After Alyssa was done molting, her personality completely changed and so did Fireballs. Alyssa (my smallest crab) is now more brave and Fireball (my biggest crab) is now a big scaredy cat hiding in the moss pit all the time. Madeline only comes out during the night, she looks so much bigger than she use to be.

I’m having so much fun crabbing all over the world. I hope you like my pictures!

Here you can see the size difference between my smallest and biggest crab.

Check back soon when I post Emma’s first pictures when she joins Crab Heaven with the other crabs. Before you leave my blog, let me know which crab is your favorite so far!
