remembering the fallen

remember the cheery list of all the hermit crabs we had? well, this list is of a more somber nature:

the Ecuadorians: Strong Bad, Hoss, Monkey, Ace, Brak, Weebl, Domino, Jibbi and Creature.
the Caribbeans: Chief

These are the crabs we've lost so far since we had the complete set of twenty. Monkey died the other day. Weebl went last night during an unsuccessful attempt to start molting. I'm inclined to agree with Brad at this point. I think all the Ecuadorians (except maybe the new Hoss cos he's kinda big and seems pretty hearty) are going to die. Newer ones included (new Ace, Ed is newish).

Sad. All this time and money and we're going to end up losing over half of what we built in the crabitat. I just hope it's not a metaphor for our own lives. I think I'm just paranoid thinking like that. Anyway, it's sad. Poor little bastards. What can we do?
