Hermit Crab Died on 20 July 2007 - a migration post In Loving Memories

I feel so sad cos my Hermit Crab has died. Not sure what was the cause but I knew that for the past few days (almost a week), my Hermit is not eating. Hermit has been hiding in the shell & not active at all.

Yesterday evening, Hermit crawls out from the shell like wanted to leave the shell but not enough strength. Can see the abdomen and all legs plus clam also weak. I buried Hermit inside my flower pot.

This is how a Hermit Crab looks like without its shell. The abdomen is very very soft. Since it is dead, the smell is like a dead seafood.
