Question
HElP one of my hermit crabs escaped from his tank and hes been missing for just over 24 hours! what are the best places to look?  please get back soon! I want him back!!

Answer
Look where there is water and darkness, bathrooms, kitchens. Look in kitty litter boxes.

At night, place some stinky food on a big sheet of aluminum foil, you will be able to hear the crab walking on the foil.

Make sure that your crab is really gone, they are very good at hiding!
