Yeah, he died. He tried to molt...and Leonidas killed him. Killed him. And ate him. Partially. I am so sick. I feel kind of bad saying this, but I just want to be done with fricking hermit crabs. But I still have Leonidas. IDK what to do. I am just really tired of them dying...and I don't know how I could have saved them. :sosad:


Brasi, I am so sorry that I couldn't help you. I am so sorry that I did not notice that you were going into molt so I could separate you from Leo. I'm just really sorry. RIP little guy.

I'm sorry. I don't know anything about hermit crabs, so not much help. But I do know how bad it feels to lose a pet.:hug99: :hug99:

You've been a better 'mom' to him than he ever expected. Know that in his little crusteacian way, he loved you back.

I am sorry :(.

I would like to have some small animals (or even fish), but I thought it would be too hard because they have such short lives. So I can definitely see why you feel that way. You've been a good mom to them though, and I know they've enjoyed the attention.

If you want a small pet that has a long life, I highly recommend African Clawed frogs. I've had one for 20 years now! Some of the others are over 10..one was given to me by someone who didn't want him anymore so I don't even know how old he is but I've had him about 13 years...
They are kinda cute, really easy to take care of (they live in an aquarium like a fish), eat just about anything, and are less dirty than a fish too. In a well filtered aquarium, I only have to clean the tank every couple of months. They don't even have to eat every day.

:sosad: to hear about the "ambush while molting" tactic. I have no idea about hermit crabs, but I used to have fish and I felt horrible anytime any of them passed on, so I can feel your pain. :hug99: :hug99: :hug99: to you and will light :candle: for Brasidas. RIP little guy. :(

You know..I tried really hard and successfully did NOT make any Sparta remarks which was difficult cuz Rob just watched the movie on the weekend and I saw a lot of it but I felt it would not be appropriate at such a sad time but geez that is funny....

In my defense, I'd just finished reading someone's really sad "my friend just hung himself" story on FARK, and the snark was viciously funny. Someone told the poster not to leave us hanging and post the details.....it's really bad noose.....and to try to hang in there.....I'm already goin' to hell so I couldn't help but post that, and at least I didn't even THINK of the Dine in Hell thing.:rotfl:
/uh, sorry for your loss again.
