today we got a pet crab. he's a hermit crab and very big and strong. he was outside the apartment apparently left by some nincompoop who didn't want to take care of the little guy. poor thing. my girlfriend is the expert when it comes to rescuing animals but she had work....now i'm terrified of crustaceans but i still got the nerve to make it a little temporary tank and put some water and romaine lettuce in for it to cozy up to. hopefully we will be able to find adoptive parents for the chum. but if not i'm sure that we will keep it around in a tank.

When in doubt with crab care just stick em' in your underwear
....Don't crabs itch alot though? 
Hmm and hermit crabs have big shells. It'll look like you're pitchin a tent for sure.
Hmmm try trading it for a gerbil.
I hear with those they are easier to hide.
