Crabby "Crib" Upgrades

After the beachcombing trip a while back we ended up with quite a few whelk shells in various sizes, and by some miracle my ever picky violas finally decided to start shell swapping! The shells are all completely natural  beachworn and battered, some sporting barnacle clusters, but the crabs absolutely adore them. No perfect shop bought shells for these crabs, only the finest beach fresh will do. Crabby couture?

First to change was Rupert who naturally went for the biggest and best of the bunch.

Next to change was Sky, who has already been adding more of a curve to the shell for her eyes since this was taken.

One of the babies has also made their way into a tiny whelk, and as for Vandal, the mystery is solved and "he" is actually a girl!

Oliver decided to take one of the others recently vacated tatty old shells instead, and as usual Ninja and two of the other babies are still happiest in their oversized long spiral shells.
