A little THUNDER, a little lightening, a little THUNDER...

Meet the newest member of our clan...THUNDER! We adopted our guinea pig from a gal I work with. She and her husband have had Thunder for about 6 months, (and they got her from a military family moving over seas), but she is almost deathly allergic to the hay Thunder eats, and kept having really bad allergy attacks. She finally had enough and asked if we wanted her. She wanted Thunder to go to a good home, and knew that we would take good care of her...judging by how we take care of our crabs.

Well, we were glad to take on the extra responsibility. I now have a pet that I can actually PET. =) The sad part is that she's already about 4, and guinea pigs usually only live about 6 years on average, so we won't have her for long. =( Until then, we still look on the bright side of things, and give her the best home we can.

(She ate all of our celery, and most of the green peppers and carrots within the first few days. She's a chunker, but at least she eats healthy!)



We love our new baby!

Crabitat 2

Shaun built a pool in the crab tank. I cut some glass for him, and he glued it into the tank. Then proceeded to hand-glue every rock into it's place so the crabs have something to hold onto and can climb up and down the ramp. He even put a little waterfall/filter in there to keep the rocks cleaner. He said it reminds the crabbers of the ocean since it's saltwater, and he swears that they always go in it...



Personally, I've only seen a couple of the crabs dip their feet in the water once or twice, but they have never submerge themselves in it completely (unless they didn't know there was water on the other side of the hill and fell in.) I think it should have been half the size that it is, but Shaun had fun with it. =)
