Escaped Pet Hermit Crab Found Down The Street Three Months Later

Sometimes dogs or cats go missing, but this time it was a hermit crab. The Yu family in Houston, Texas, says their two children built an outdoor enclosure for their three hermit crabs just outside their home, but two of the animals escaped in October. They searched for the crabs but couldn’t find them. This month, a neighbor spotted something strange on the sidewalk in the neighborhood, realized it was a hermit crab, and brought it home to put in the enclosure her kids have for their own hermit crabs. She also posted on Facebook asking if anyone was missing a hermit crab. She soon got a reply from the Yu family, and now the hermit crab is back at their home, and they hold out hope that the second missing crab will make its way home.
