Mongo update
Things with Mongo are business as usual, which is good now that Artemis has passed. Boring is good if it's healthy!
It seems that no matter how many hermits are roaming the tank, Mongo is too lazy to get them himself. This is cool with me, because he has decided to take them directly from my hand! As this is the more physical contact than I expected, I'm thrilled. It also cures me of "my favorite headache" (Cheers, Geddy)- food control. I decided to go with 3 hermits a week. If there are always some roaming, he'll eat when he's hungry. If he's too lazy to hunt for himself, I get the bonus of contact.
For the most part, he hangs out in the same barnacle apartment. He hasn't been to the other one in days. He keeps his shell door held in place and peeks out. When he's hungry, he drops the door for it to become his plate. As stated above, I now hold a hermit in front of his den, and his arms come out to get it. He holds onto my finger a moment after taking the crab, then gets busy eating.
Today's anagram: mo' 'nog!
