OMG! I walked in on something disturbing!

OMG! I walked in on something disturbing!

There is a shell exactly like hers but Patty hasn't bothered going up to the shell shop to check it out.

Ok, I have a few questions now about my little crabs. We first started out with Patty and Eugene about 3 weeks ago. Eugen passed away on Sunday morning. :( it was very very sad for my kids and myself. We went out and got another crab that afternoon so Patty wouldn't be lonely. His name is Krusty. He...
