I read up on them and learned that they're very temperamental thus dropping all kinds of money to keep them alive. The two oldest have been in there sine June or July and are fine. They require a good amount of care and typically don't get it and that's why they don't last long. N is a very sensative kid and I couldn't bear to see his heart broken so I spent the $$$. They can live a good while if they're taken care of correctly; I believe up to 15 years.
Have you seen one out of it's shell. If that's not the nastiest thing I've ever seen! I would not touch the dead one that came out! No way, no sir!
I'm thinking it had to be that damn shell. I don't know how I'm going to explain this one away since I tossed the shell. It was a Spiderman shell.
I surely can't tell him his hermit crab ran away!
