Eggo and the Shell Changing Incident

I got some new shells from Sea Shell City yesterday. I was hoping that my crabs would change out of their Christmas shells and they are. Almost immediately, Peanut Butter was sporting a new shell.

This morning I got up and Eggo was in a new shell, but he was clinging to his old shell. Unfortunately, there was a crab in his old shell; Jelly had snuck into Eggo’s old shell when Eggo wasn’t looking. I picked up Eggo and he was still holding his old shell, but I know longer saw a crab inside. I looked closer and Jelly was hiding all the way in the back of the shell; the shell is way to big for him. I separated the two of them and Eggo finally changed into this new shell. Hopefully, he won’t attack Jelly anymore, but I have a feeling he still isn’t happy with his new shell home.
