I like the thought that you brought the cripple crab. And now he has a good home and he doesn't have to starving.

If he lives. That's the bad thing about taking the ones that are missing legs, he is far more likely to die. He was fighting me picking him up, so I thought he might make it. It breaks my heart to buy them only to take them home to die. I've done it a couple of times for ones with holes in their shells. I've written all the major pet stores about how they are treating their merchandise, but all I've gotten in response are emails explaining to me how stupid I am (not actually calling me names, but implying it strongly).

The last one I got that was missing limbs dropped all the rest of her legs and then died. *sigh* He still has all his remaining legs this morning, so that's a good sign.

Luckily, they hadn't been there very long. I'm hoping that means they'll all make it. I could see all except two of the new ones this morning. That's different from the last time I got PP, who all hid. I'm going to try to take a few pictures of the new ones today.

*crossing fingers* for the crab that they all don't die. I hate what humans are doing to animals and I hate that they gave you response emails in which they show their human arrogance. I'm really angry when I heard/read/watch stuff like this. And you are not stupid. Yeah I know, you know that but all the guys who don't care about the animals not matter if they are living in a pet shop or in the nature or near to the humans in their apartement or houses or somewhere else are sooooo stupid. Grrr.
It would be a pleasure if you let us see the pics if you've taken them.

Thanks. I've been trying to get pics of the crabs, but the camera and I hate each other. :P Everyone is still alive, no dropped limbs, and three of them are exploring. The one that needs to molt dug down (a good thing) and the other big one is hiding in a coconut shell with his bit of carrot that he's been carrying with him. :)

Who knew the care and feeding of crabs could be so complicated :)
