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.
Kat checked for what step two was. She was done with step one. So yay for her, that means no shooting of fire all over the place right? Grabbing the brush given to them, Kat needed to rub the crab. Seriously? She gently, really gently, rubbed the shell in a light circular motion. Carefully rubbing them, she paid attention to the jewels of the crab... ooohhh shiny!
The part near the scales was the tricky part. They weren't supposed to rub that part so Kat slowly but surely rubbed the not scaley part. Wiw. Looking at Tag's progress, Kat just smiled. "
If you need help, you could always ask me for a hand."
Now... for step 3.
