The sad news is there were 2. YDD brought home 2 hermit crabs from a field trip. The one with the pink shell, she chose for her brother. (nice) That very evening, the poor crab's leg fell off. I quickly researched on the internet and read that there was hope if the crab did not lose more than one limb in a couple of hours, and especially not the big pincher. Moments after reading that, the big pincher claw fell off. So, a few days later, when we noticed the smell definitely increased and the crab was clearly NOT molting, we removed his (her??) carcass.
One lovely crab named Bubba, remains a happy member of our household.
