Taking Care of Huckle & Berry
Huckle and Berry are hermit crabs that live in our classroom. We take turns caring for them. They need some of the same things we need to survive. Below you can see all the things we found out we have in common with our pets.

 

This is where we live. Can you see us? If not, roll your mouse over the picture!

Huckle has a striped shell like a tiger and Berry has a small white shell.

 

We need food.
We need water.
We need a home that is just the right size for us.
We need exercise.
We need to keep clean.
We need friends and family!

 

Here is Huckle taking a bath to keep clean!

 

This is a link to a great list of safe foods for Huckle and Berry. They like to have special treats in their food dish every day. If you have a tiny (and we mean tiny!) amount of these foods, maybe as leftovers from a meal, the hermit crabs would love a nibble! They are natural scavengers, and like the variety! Just send it in!
