Howard..
He was pretty old when I got him. He was neglected so I decided to bring him home. He never pinched, he never hid when he was in my hands. He loved his popcorn, and sitting inside the hermit hut with Ace. While the others were asleep, he'd always come out and climb around, causing a little too much noise in my bedroom. The day before his death, he was perfectly fine, drinking, eating, etc. The next day he was still, so I assumed this was normal. A week past and he was still in the same spot, eyes out and all. That stinky fish smell came from his body, but I still didn't believe it. I picked him up and he did not flinch, move his eyes, and his body was totally limp. I knew then. I moved him into the mini tank for another day, just incase, but nothing, he was gone.
His death is still a mystery, no mites or anything, but I think it was old age.
RIP Howard, you were a good crab.
