His name was Hank. I've had him for about a year and a half. His cage-mate Hermie died about 6 weeks ago. I guess they lived a long time-noone else I know has had one that long. Although I had one for like 3 years one time...

I had one for 5 years one time...he'd talk to me in his little squeaky voice.
I'm sorry your hermit crab died.


Oh and btw, I'll send you pictures of Rocky next week sometime!

in heaven, he'll get to pick any shell he wants

12/24/2005 11:30:47 AM

^He had a real pretty shell. But I hope he gets a silver one.

^^I never heard mine talk, but he loved to climb real fast around his cage.
(Please do send me some pics of Rocky. I know he's been a good boy! Mama asked about him the other day.)

so what did you do with him?

12/24/2005 11:38:42 AM

I bet the cage smells like shit now

12/24/2005 11:40:35 AM

He's in a Kleenex box by the trash can. I think I'll go bury him when I get back from last minute shopping. But I am afraid the cats will dig him up. I'll let you know when I decide for sure.

And no, his cage didn't stink. I already washed it and have it drying right now. My friend's kid will want a crab someday.

are you gonna get another one?

12/24/2005 11:47:35 AM

why dont you flush him down the toilet?

12/24/2005 11:50:35 AM

Well...I don't think I will get another one soon. Not sure why. I have 2 bottles of food if anyone else needs it. I don't know if it goes bad or not.

12/24/2005 12:04:32 PM

well, sorry for your loss...

hope you have a good christmas

12/24/2005 12:08:24 PM

Thank you. I hope you have a great Christmas as well!

I used to have hermit crabs... awesome pets for kids.

Tree crabs were awesome too... except one time I left one out and he pulled a suicide off the second floor balcony.
