Mass death - may give up on crabbing

[KellyCrabbieLove]

I love my crabs. Love them. Today I did the first deep clean in probably 6 months or more. I lost...so many crabs. I lost Poseidon...what hurts the most is I lost Thor. I haven't counted my survivers so I don't know how many died yet since crabs like to bury empty shells. I do know that I can't handle this much loss. I am not dealing with this well at all.

I lost 11. Almost a third of my colony.

No fresh molts but one dug up is not moving much anden is in isolation. I am over the pain of keeping these animals as pets.

Thanks. I accidentaly posted this to the archives but moved it to the right area today. I lost another since the 11 and 2 more are at risk at the bare minimum. This has been awful.

I'm so sorry Kelly! I saw your other post earlier, and my heart aches for you... Try to keep your head up, I know It's tough, loss isn't easy. I truly hope this doesn't prevent you from keeping your current colony...you are definitely a wonderful asset to them and this community. That being said, do what's right for you. On a positive note- I'm hoping your new little does well! Lots of hugs, and good vibes your way.

Oh, Kelly! Not Thor and Poseidon! You've been such a terrific crab parent and still have crabs that need your help -- please don't give up. I know the past few days have been an enormous shock to absorb but do you have any idea what happened?

I was going to ask about that but thought that maybe you just needed to say it but weren't ready for responses.

I am so truly sorry for your losses. I know that you have always maintained a great habitat and spoiled your crabs.

This is one of the worst parts about crabbing and leads me to believe that there are unknown disease vectors at work.

That post was in crab behavior. Weird that it ended up there. Tapatalk is acting up.
