I'm so sorry you're going through this troppo :( you are such a great crabbie mommy.

I would suggest pm'ing :( ladybug(some number I can't remember right now) at CSJ. she has been so helpful to me with loads of problems in the past, and is almost as knowledgable as Sue. I read over there that Sue is having a rough time in real life, so I worry she may not respond in time (I sent an email to her w/a problem months ago and she never responded). best of luck.

Thanks Caroline :)
Ahh I remember now seeing Sue's thread over in CSJ,I hope she's ok :( .
I ended up pm'ing someone else at CSJ and there was no reply,but I will give Ladybug a try,can't give up yet :)
In the end,I'm going to try absolutely everything possible to save these crabs. If it doesn't work there'll be info on the subject at least so in future it may help someone else that is going through the same.

Am thinking though if I do lose all my crabbies,would have to have a small break from this site(and others) for a little while just to get over the grief. It sounds silly because part of me says'They're only crabs!' but the the other part says 'all living creatures no matter how small deserve respect and shouldn't suffer and die unecessarily,and I love them anyway'
I am just like YOU! Which is why I don't like to kill even the smallest of insects. Spiders get put outside. Flies shooed outside, etc. Living creatures have feelings and are capable of happiness, sadness etc. I hate to think they suffer or are in pain.

I hope you won't stay away too long. Sometimes, talking and chatting and sharing your experience with others can be healing.

Me, my family, my crabbies are all pulling for your crabbies and I hope they make it!

Thoughts and prayers.

I emailed ladybug and she said i could give you her email, since she checks it much more frequently that she checks CSJ. it is hermiesville@comcast.net

Thanks Caroline,you're an angel :D
I sent a pm to Ladybug and got a reply,also got a reply from Vanessa,so am going to post photos up in the gallery.
Lol Annabella! I like spiders,used to have a 'pet' huntsman spider living in my room,my mum wasn't real happy about it though :lol: And it's strange,because once I was bitten by a spider as a child and it still hasn't put me off them.
