What should I name my newbies?

This is where you discuss the conditions of your crabitat -- temperature, humidity, substrate, decorating, etc.

So I returned today after being sick for 2 days. I met my friend and she said "You're not going to believe this!" I, thinking nothing of it said "what?" She then said WITH A LAUGH, "My hermit crabs died!" I guess she left them for ten days with NO FOOD and NO WATER! She doesn't have a good set up at all already and now she leaves them with NOTHING?! She is so mean and I can't believe she LAUGHED! Even my dad said, "What if her cat died? Would she be laughing then? They are the same as any animal and shouldn't be laughed at when they die". I am so angry Image! I can't believe a person would be dumb enough to not think to leave them with at least food and water?! Like how obvious is that?! You should think they would definitely need food. I am just enraged
Hmm...I would just check to make sure - ASAP!!!!!! Please keep us updated. I've heard stories of how people got cages with shells and months later found out there was a live hermit crab. You never know....

I definitely could not be friends with someone like that -

She never gave them to me, she found them above the surface, both stinky and dead

I know you were really looking forward to having them, and I'm very sorry to hear this news- but I hope you get the chance to confirm!

Thank you all, I am very very sad. The fact that someone would laugh about that?! And its preeeeety obvious that a living thing needs to be left with food and water for ten days straight. A stupid person would know that! Sorry for the ranting but it is just so sad and scary what people do to their animals especially ones like hermit crabs that are underestimated when it comes to the labor they need in their care! It needs to be changed.
