I just discovered about my beloved Shellby, My dear sweet Purple pincher hermit crab. I have had him for 2 and 1/2 years, I am so sad and so upset, that he died, I feel like I could have done something, that I could have, spent more time with him, maby, gave him more treats, something, anything, just to keep him here with me. I have always wanted to take Shellby to the beach, where he belongs, where he was born. I waned him to hear the ocean waves again to see sea gulls, to smell that fresh air again, I wanted him to be able to run along the beach, free and happy with no cares! We were going to move soon, to a place where we could go to the beach every day, where Shellby and Sandy could be free again, but we waited to late, Shellby will never be able to got o the beach again, until that day, when I cross the rainbow bridge, with him in my hand chirping because of how happy he will be to see me. people will say that loosing a hermit crab is not as bad as if you lost a dog or a cat, but they have personality, they can love, they can feel, they are just smaller, they need just as much care as any other animal, thats why I feel that I did not do all that I could do for him. You never know haw much you love someone, until you loose them
& Welcome! As you can see this forum looks a little different than it did before due to an upgrade from V4 to V5....not sure I like the way it looks now so I will work on some tweaking to make it look better..Please bare with me as I make changes
