lucky for us, we were able to find these same supplies right at school. it comes in a netting, which is really useful in keeping the lobster together while boiling. we found an ad for such puppies on the community wall at a local feed store and jumped on the chance to get them. that's all i can remember for now, there may have been a few other things but these are what stuck out to me. they each suffer in their own ways, but through their trials, their friendship does grow.
