hermit crabs are nothing but heartache! we had one that died the day after we bought it... took it back to the store and traded in the empty shell for another. The first one had been called "Princess" so number 2 was "Princess Junior."

Princess Junior actually lived about a year, as I recall, which I believe is an all time world record.

anyway you have lovely summer days of hens and fish to look forward to. poor percy!
