HCA: Hermit Crab Association

My last crab just died, so I'm done. All I have left is a sad, empty tank....and nightmares. I loved this forum but I honestly can't deal with the stress of taking care of these little guys. When they die, it's extremely heartbreaking. Bye guys.

So sorry to hear of your loss and your plan to stop crabbing. It can be frustrating to try to keep everything just right for these unique little guys and, like with any pet, absolutely heartbreaking when one of them passes. Their loss is probably harder on us because there is rarely any sign that something is amiss, unless there are molting issues or serious fights: just a dead crab seemingly out of the blue. All of our thoughts are with you and please know that you'll be missed here.

Bye Luckythecrab, i feel for you. Thank you for being one of us and hope you come back at a better time!


Crabbers unite!!!

I am sorry about that, it gets tough for me too, hope to see you back soon.
