Crablog & Menu

In honor of our big ole Nor'easter storm I made a big pot of ham and 15 bean soup so I decided to share a part of it with them. Incidentally, we got about 12" of snow and my back (which was already hurting from a slipping disk) is killing me today from shoveling.

Last night's menu:

Cooked ham from the ham hock (no seasonings were put in yet), smashed bone from the middle of the ham hock with the marrow in it, chopped apple, all on a bed of Romain lettuce.

Mostly there has been hardly any activity in the tank again. Several days have passed and I don't know if anyone has moved, the food didn't even look touched. I smoothed out the sand around the food dish last night when I put it in but later I did see Kermit over there checking it out. Tune was hanging out at the opening of the half log and I heard something scraping on the glass late and that looked like it was Spaz coming up from being buried. Someone was checking out shells 'cause they are all over the place but it doesn't look like any were switched out.

Today, someone is buried down between the log and the back wall, but not completely as I can see the top of their shell; I think it's Beaker. Tune is buried again in the corner where the moss is and that's all I can see.

Nothing much going on in Steph's tank either. A couple days ago Steph gave them shrimp tails and the ones in her tank got moved around a couple of times. I bought some shells from Vicki and there were a bunch of little Nerites and Babylonia's in there so Steph picked some out and put them in her tank and one of the Ruggies were checking them out but I don't think tried any on.
