Urgent help needed! Crab grave

When I was younger, I used to pick up dead crabs off the beach when they washed up and bury them in a Hello Kitty Puzzle Ball box under my bed. I buried them alongside various items I found while on walks, such as wool stuck in a bush and a stick. I now have to clean under my bed as my room is getting redecorated. I don't really want to tell my parents about my secret crab grave, as they wouldn't want me keeping dead crabs in my room. What should I do with my crabs?

I think right now take that box and hide it and if someone sees just say its rubbish. Hide it in a good place till your room is done. Once everything is back to normal take it back to your room. I do suggest you find a good place tho especially if you are not always home.

This was my first thought, but I don't want my parents to see and I think they'd notice a big hole in the garden full of crabs

Yeah, but it would take a while for the grass to grow back

This is a good idea, but I'm stuck on where to put it when they actually decorate my room. For now I've hidden it in my summer/winter clothes drawer, which won't be in use until summer. But I can't think of what to do when my drawers are emptied. Any suggestions?

maybe hide it in another room for now where no one will look like under a sofa or something

You could out them in a bag or something like backpack or something that you do not use and just throw random papers in the bag or something like that, I am not so sure where you can hide it. Maybe somewhere nobody goes in your house like a room or behind a cupboard.

This is a good idea. I'll have to wait until my parents are out and I will move them under the sofa in my dad's office as noone goes there ever. Thank you so much for saving my crabs
