Oh yeah it appears that my hermit crab actually molted the other day but never crawled back into its shell thus died.
But I got two new ones yesterday
@dratino um, huh? You don't even know what I posted about it the other day so this reply makes no sense...
oh😓 i wonder why.
@holon42 me too because there's plenty of vacant shells in the aquarium plenty of food plenty of room plenty of sand so I'm not sure what happened or why and it lived alone... Here's the thing about that they are supposed to be colony creatures they love to interact with each other I had four but they continued to fight and kill off each other until I only had one left which lived for three more years on its own so that makes it even more strange
maybe confined space, different conditions from in the wild, causes different behaviour?
@holon42 possibly, not sure - it used to crawl out of its shell allthe time and roam around the tank then crawl back in its shell... this is/was the 1st time it actually molted
oh well. hopefully, these 2 will do better. sometimes little ones die and we never know why 🥺
@duglop Aww, sorry he passed on, Duglop. ❤️😔
@duglop there's a life lesson there but damn 😅
