Updates of my pets =]

remember some time ago, my daddy and mummy bought 2 small lobsters and 2 small crabs for me as my new pets? it's been more than a month, and have u been wondering how's my pets? ok, just to update, 2 crabs and 1 lobster had died and eaten up by one super aggressive lobster, she is so aggressive, we named her the "QUEEN", cos she'll go round attacking the crabs and her lobster friend, and then she'll eat them up =[

seeing "Queen" alone in the tank, mummy feel that she is too lonely and we decided to get another 4 more lobsters to stay with her, on the 1st day, when "Queen" saw new lobsters coming in, she started to attack all the other lobsters again, and all the other 4 lobsters which were smaller than her, were all living in fear and stress. so mummy decided to separate her out from the others and put her in another small tank, sort of discipline her, the next day "Queen" did the same thing again, she attacked the other lobsters, and we separated her again, and finally, the last time, very strangely "Queen" seems to understand it, when we put her back in to the tank with other lobsters, she behaved well, and when she attempted to attack other lobsters, we point out our finger at her, she will run away and from then on she had never attack other lobsters anymore, wow, isn't that amazing about lobsters. =]




mummy and me had always love to watch and observe how animals behave, and we are always curious to know how animals behave, that's why our favourite tv programme is "Animal Planet" mummy and me can sit there for hours just watching "Animal Planet" together, and we too always like sit near the tank to watch and observe our pets, and mummy will always read up more about the animals we rear and then explain everything that she knows to me. the other time we had guppies, mummy taught me how the guppies mate, and i witness the mummy guppies gave birth, it's awesome.



this time, mummy told me that lobsters will "molt" which is sheding of their old shell when they grow bigger. The remaining old shell is a perfect double of the lobster, down to the claws, legs, mouth parts, and even the covering of the eyeballs, and the lobster will eat up their old shell to help them harden their new shell, interesting right? it's so fun to rear lobsters, they are practically hassle-free pets, we don't really have to take special care of them, unlike rearing fish.

this is the old shell of the lobster.

See, the lobster is eating up her old shell to so-call strengthen herself

This time round, we've got a group of super active lobsters, they like to climb and move around, see, how they climb trees, ops, i mean the plants =]

My lobsters' favourite is the feeding time, see, how they enjoyed their food.

That's the "Queen" lobster on the wood, see how much she had grown.

PS: i use "she" for all my lobsters cos all of them are female lobsters, mummy read up about lobsters and taught me how to differentiate male and female lobsters, we are considering to buy some male lobsters to mate with the female lobsters and hoping to have some baby lobsters =]
