Vivi tipped off the dirty water once again, although her reasons were mostly selfish. She wanted to look at her fire crab, and she couldn't see poor Bob through all that mud. Once the bucket was refilled with clean water once again, Vivi set her brush to the side and picked up a washcloth.
"How often do you suppose they need to be cleaned this thoroughly? It's hard work to be an everyday type of activity." Vivi lifted Bob out of the water again, peering into his little face as she scrubbed at his 'belly'... or you know... his shell. SPOILER!!: Instructions Step One:
Fill the bucket up with enough water to make sure the rear of the Fire Crab is completely covered. While letting soak for several minutes, lightly rub the shell with your fingertips to feel for any soft spots or cracks. (Soaking will allow any buildup, caused by its flames, to loosen)
Step Two:
With a soft bristled brush, gently scrub the entire shell using a light, circular motion. Pay special attention to any areas with buildup, mostly around their colored jewels and under the rim of the shell. Be careful not to brush areas covered in scales. They tend to be sensitive.
Step Three:
Gently massage the Fire Crab shell, under body, legs and tail with a soft, wet washcloth. This will loosen most soil. Don't worry if small flakes are released from the shell! This is just normal shedding. Rinse the Fire Crab to remove flakes.
Step Four:
Rinse the Fire Crab thoroughly. Closely inspect the shell for any irregularities, such as softening, excessive flaking, cracks, unusual discharge, or discolorations. Discoloration would occur on the jewels.
Step Five:
While still wet, place the Fire Crab back in the cage and cover with the cage with a dark colored cloth (the ones that covered it earlier). Rinse out supplies.
Nigel took a look at Vivi's shell and was amazed by how green it was. Nigel was sure that the blue color on his crab was better. "It's a blue color. I don't know the name of it."
Nigel also agreed with Vivi. That this was a lot of work for one day. Nigel had just started massaging Marvin and wanted it to be over already. He slowly went down the shell, to under body, and then the legs and the tail. Once he was sure most of the soil was loosed. He know had to rinse it. "Do we have to use Aquamenti to rinse it?"
