We have a new pet, a hermit crab. We named him/her Compass because we think he got on board at Compass Cay. When Madeline was going to the back cabin she asked " why is there a hermit crab back here?" We figured out that when we were collecting shells at a beach he hitchhiked in a very large shell by hiding inside it. He has moved houses now to a smaller shell we found for him. We keep him in a big container ( at least for him) in our cabin ( the V berth). He likes cabbage and some of our fish scraps. He is quite small now, he is growing. Did you know that baby hermit crabs are red and as hermit crabs get older they get more purple?I will post pictures later,By Jessica
