Krusty´s Great Escape!

One day on the weekend, we went to Shrewsbury for a day out. It was a great day and we got loads of clothes shoes etc, we were on the way home and we were discussing our new pet Krusty the crayfish (NOT Krusty the clown from the Simpsons lol), that we had got from Pets at Home in Aberystwyth. We were discussing the fact that a Crayfish´s aim is to escape the tank, but if their gills go dry they will die....

We got home and dad opened the door and saw a small blob shaped thing on the floor, moving across the kitchen tiles. He walked over to it and turned on the lights and saw...... KRUSTY! She had escaped out the back of the tank, where there are holes for the tank light cables and must of fallen (amazingly without a scratch) onto the floor and made her way over to the carpet! Luckily her gills were still wet and, even though the cats were in, they had not seen her! We taped up the holes and plopped her back in the tank unharmed.

Even though she had a tramatic experience from escaping last time, she still hasn´t given up trying!
