蛻變

我們的小蟹決定molting (我的diagnosis)了!
前幾天放工，我去看看牠們時, 嚇了我一跳！
因為不見了一位蟹仔，又見到Saline water dish被翻過來，一半的沙也濕透, 也零亂十分！
另外一位蟹仔也在一角睡了，好像沒事發生一般唷！
簡直看像一個Crime Scene案發現場 (hahaha, I guess I have been watching too much CSI!) ...
我就想 .... " oh oh ... 唔通Molting?!"

Molting就是說蟹仔要長大了，要退去舊的soft shell而去replace by a new growth of a bigger soft shell. 一句講sai ... 牠們要長大了！

I dug into the sand pile and found that crabbie dug deep and was hiding himself deep down with supple of moist and food. Ho ho ho ... 仲唔係molting?!?!?! I just let him sleep down there and covered him with extra wet sand ...

The next day when I got home ... the other crabbie disappeared toooooo!!! 牠也跟牠的「同屋蟹」molt?!?! haha ...

So YUP ... both crabbies seem like preparing themselves for the molting process. I think it's the biggest project they have in their lives ... they need to store enough energy, food, water in their bodies to prepare for this process, as their bodies will become so weak and vulnerable during molting. They will crawl out from their comfortable (and pretty too!)hard shells and expose their soft shell body to allow room to molt. This process can take up to 3-4 months ... but it depends!

蟹仔長大會經過蛻變。
蛻變會經過state of hibernation和一遍混亂。
hibernation就是一個isolation state，
什麼也要暫止，
一遍安靜，
一遍混亂 ,
簡直有點像閒人免進的不想被disturbed,
...但是這一切過後會帶來成長 ...

近日身邊有好幾位好朋友為了不同的事愁眉苦臉 ... 見到蟹仔就想起他們 ...
Friends ... please don't lose heart ... if you are struggling ... please remember that growth is on its way!
Surf through the valley with God ...
Prayers are with you all ...
You guys are amazing people and very very precious children of our Lord ...

我們的蟹仔蛻變後會長大 (well, under the care of someone that even會養死Catus - well I am the primary caregiver for my ex-catus! haha ... )，
我對我的朋友們也有這樣的信心唷 ('cause Our Creator is going to be our primary mentor/caregiver in our lives ... hahah ... surely He has better gardening skills than I do!!!!)！
