HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thank you. I think we will wait before getting any other pets for now!

Oh and the other crab died during molting. The first one went down to molt and this one took its shell and then the first one didn’t make it. This ones shell is too small but it wouldn’t take to a new one. We bought soooo many to try. We couldn’t find one that it would use for longer than a few hours.

Nothing smells so far. I reallythink it’s dead though. The poor thing hasn’t moved even once. It has clean shells next to it. We have not tried to manually put it in but I think it’s too late. My son is so sad. He’s had it for years.
