Cicely observation 2:
As we have discovered, “Pinky” (the white hermit) has far more energy than “Brain” (dark striped hermit). In fact, Brain’s energy was so low this week I was concerned Brain had died. I couldn’t bear to tell my group he died at my house. But I wasn’t seeing any movement from him for days. I dipped him in the pond of water twice; then I placed him on different object surfaces such as my hand and wood table to spark his curiosity. To my dismay, he just stayed just curled up.
I also assumed he was dead because his skin changed from its original pinkish hue into a deep purple shade. Pinky’s skin hadn’t turned purple, only Brain’s. The only reason I didn’t throw Brain away is because I thought when hermit crabs die they fall out of their shell and any hermit crab around (i.e. Pinky) would eat his unprotected body. Yuck! I did not want Brain to suffer such an outcome so I prayed very close attention to him. Since I personally didn’t sleep much this week (went to bed at 2 am twice, woke up at 4 am once) I was able to observe crabs’ nocturnal lifestyle. Then a miracle happened. I was studying when I suddenly heard burrowing noises…Brain was alive! Praise the Lord. I was so happy!
