When I was in the Fifth grade we had hermit crab pets in our classroom for a section of science we were studying. At the end we got to take our hermit crab home. Mine managed to disappear. We searched and searched and searched the house and could not find it!!!! We lived with my Great-Grandmother at the time to help take care of her. And one night about two months after the crab disappearance I was in the kitchen and here comes the hermit crab walking its way across the floor from the pantry!!!! My Great-Grandma was big on gardening and canning the food so she had a HUGE walk in pantry. Somehow it had survived two months without us feeding it or giving it water.
