Extreme Hermit Habitat Makeover

Maybe I was inspired by the Extreme Home Makeover that was just completed a few miles from my home. (Hi, TY!) Or....maybe it was just that we have come to the realization that the two hermit crabs my parents gave my daughter in November weren't, in fact, going to die in a month or two.

Yeah, it made me sad to look at, too! Poor guys.
