use live plants and less artificial stuff inside the tanks, rocks and lots of plants to hide in . just do everything natural, live plants and no artificial stuff . keep it up tho man dont give up
I just got here....just watched your most recent crab video. First thought I had was "wow I'm surprised they didn't die". We tried this stuff when I was young...and they always died. They go through SO much in those stores before you get them. It's such a shock to their system. HOWEVER..... YOU are at LEAST giving them the most wonderful love, spoiling them and letting them enjoy whatever life they have left so they know at least SOMEONE cared before they move on. THAT is worth everything to them. The tanks can be reused to rescue the next lucky creature. What you are doing is a good thing....might be the ONLY good thing that ever happens to them.
I know this is an old video but you will have to deal with this again obviously. Yes they die, animals always die. Especially ones that have been abused like the ones you got from stores. You are taking on the hardest job and making things so much harder on yourself. Even if they die after a few weeks you just have to take pleasure on the fact you gave them an amazing time up until their natural death. Instead of painful and stressfully tortured deaths they had a chance to live in a safe environment with all the food and entertainment you can provide. I can’t have anymore dogs because when they die, they hurt me too much. I cry for years, I never forget them. But somebody like you is doing amazing things and helping innocent animals have some kind of life. Keep your chin up, you are a great person.
Josh, I recently stumbled upon your channel (with your video on Waffle) and I honestly found myself tearing up when she first explored the tank. You are awesome, thank you for giving these animals another chance at life. Some of them would pass on but that's just how life goes and I'm sure they're immensely thankful for having the life you gave them. Keep doing what you do. We're all behind you!
Grocery animals are difficult. The fact you gave them a life at all is pretty amazing. Also salt water animals are difficult in and of themselves. Don't quit!
Don't quit! Remember that it's absolutely not your fault if an animal dies trying to molt or catches a disease; it's just how things go, and there's nothing you can do. In the meantime focus on the positives and give the animals the best care you can and everything will turn out fine.
@@protobhack5683 I can only reply to comments on RUclips but I can't post a comment. Hoping Josh can see this. The crabs in the stores may already be old but remember that they can take weeks to months to molt. They will appear totally dead. You will know it's dead if it smells bad. They won't eat prior to molting for many days. Your channel gets so many views and I think you should have more content. Not less. I like the grocery store pet idea. Wash hands well and rinse well when putting arms in your tank. I would avoid adding live food to keep tanks sterile.
I just found your channel. You are like my perfect fantasy world, where the animals are saved from their awful scary doom. You make me feel normal. I want to save everything I run into. Just remember that whenever a creature dies, the impact they made on the world will never die, and likewise with your mission, the impact your heart has on the world will change it forever. 💕
Honestly? I totally understand you being devastated for any of the grocery pets, but you gave them lives that were so much better! They were in awful conditions, waiting to be eaten, and instead you gave them a new home and enrichment! If that isn't something to be happy about, I don't know what is! ❤❤❤❤
PLEASE remember that the crabs would have passed away A LOT sooner, and in a more horrible way, if it wasn't for you. You can't possibly know their age when you save them, or what they've been through. They lived longer because of you, not the opposite. Keep saving them as long as it brings you joy.
Grocery animals are doomed as soon as they hit the stores. I wouldn't judge yourself based on them. Focus on creating fun content surrounding the pets you do have, and new ones you gain. Potentially make care tutorials and such. You're doing great man keep it up!
When I take on a new creature, I say to them- “You’ve been eaten. Now you become part of the body or you will have been just a meal. I will do my best for you and all of yours we bring.” Kind of an explanation, apology and a promise all in one. Become part of the aquarium room or part of the compost heap.
Hey Josh, I just found your channel and went through all the grocery store pet videos - I loved every single one! You do so much work at giving these animals a loving home and your excitement and care really shows every time you interact with them. Despite the sad passings of pancake, blueberry, and probably croissant by now, you gave them a home they'd be forever grateful for and happy to have experienced - never feel bad for that reality. Many people in the comments said its likely due to the poor conditions of their lives in grocery stores that ruined their chances of living long and I do agree with that notion. You've been doing all you can and I'm sure because of that their lives were lived to the fullest they could be at that point. I would love to see this series continue; grocery store pets or even if you get pet store pets - I can see you giving them wonderful lives no matter where they come from. All i can say is that as long as you don't deteriorate your mental health by continuing, i hope to see you post again. We believe in you! ❤
I feel you man, losing an animal you only got to spend a short amount of time with is nothing short of demoralising and sad. You have made a very captivating series, and I can only hope you continue it because I genuinely find them a blast to watch. Your loving and caring nature is just what these animals need in their doomed lives of being captured. By all means, do what you feel is best and don't feel forced to continue things, and I hope you get through this rough realisation soon. Either way, I'll continue watching whatever content you put out since you're an amazing person who deserves the world ❤.
PLEASE don't give up, deaths are natural and you have given your pets more time in life than being in a grocery store waiting to die horribly. Rest In Peace Blueberry, when crabs molt, it's best to leave them alone and be undisturbed to reduce a molting failure, I hope that advice helps if you see this. RIP Blueberry and don't give up Josh ❤️❤️❤️
Please don't stop! I just came across your channel and it brings me SO MUCH JOY! You have the best of intentions, you want what's best for these critters. It's obvious. You've learned so much and have shared that knowledge. Thank you!
i just saw your channel today & i think it's awesome that you save animals from grocery stores, etc, even if they pass away, u still gave them a second chance & u should definitely keep at it!
Oh my god I just watched the blueberry video and I was so in love with that little crab. You gave him an amazing life. Dont quit man. Youre doing a good deed to these animals
I randomly found your vids and been watching them all recently becaues it makes me happy how genuine you are and that you think so much for these living beings , and no matter how long these animals live, they live longer because of you my dude. And you should never ever forget that, you were there for them whilst they could of died much sooner. You are a great person, keep doing what you do because you love it so much, and lets pray for all the animals you taken care of who aren't with you no more, God bless you man, theres not a lot of you out there in the world. Keep being yourself
Aww I will miss Blueberry! That's become one of my favorite videos lately. Please don't quite! I love seeing how happy each of your rescues get when they realize they won't be eaten. In a way, I would kind of expect rescues to possibly not live very long and you are caring for creatures that usually get eaten so that kind of lowers their survival rate. The important thing is that they die happy and most of the rescues I've seen look pretty happy.
My kids found your channel and we absolutely love the content! There is so much garbage out there and we were so happy to find a lighthearted and educational channel. Animals die it is the hardest part of homesteading and ranching, and so we do understand. RiP cute little Blueberry! And hugs to you Josh.
I just found this channel like 45 minutes ago and I’m just glad to hear that waffle and toast are doing well. Do whatever you think is best for you, that is all I can say. Wishing you luck!
Do not quit. Never give up. No matter what happens. Its never your fault when they die. Grocery store or bait shop animals are generally not in good conditions. Therefore, they are very prone to die due to the conditions they were in. Just know that not only did you inspire and cheer up others. But you also inspired me to study animals. In a massive nutshell, never give up. Stay positive and determined. You have my word friendo- ❤
Those animals had a great time while being around you, that's the most important thing. As long as you love them and they love you please don't quit! What you do for them and the way you feel is priceless! Cheer up my friend!
Humans outlive almost every animal on Earth, it's a privilege for us to be in their presence; their whole entire lives if they let us. Cherish every moment of unconditional love you receive, it's such a gift. I love all the experiences you've shared with us, but I understand if it takes a mental toll on you. Know you provided the best care & home you could at the time, isn't that all one asks for in life? Feel better Josh
All animals end at some point but you truly have the heart to give these guys a chance at life so you should never quit your videos are awesome I always look forward to your videos, more people in this world deserve you.
The most important thing is that you never give up brother. Things happen, but what matters is how you choose to react. You do such great stuff with these animals, (even the wasps) and you give us joy and laughter. Stick to it no matter the circumstances. I’m praying 🙏 my friend
As someone who has experienced a very similar pain recently, I can say that don't give up. It works, unfortunately, every good story has an end, and if you didn't own them, they would be on someone's dinner plate.
Totally understandable to feel discouraged and sad right now :( You care so much for your animals and even have lovingly taken care of animals that other humans meant for food. Whatever direction you go, you have my support!
Girl don’t worry too much about it! I don’t think grocery store animals have the best health due to the conditions they were born and raised in. You gave them a happy life before they have passed and that’s so kind, Im sure they were much happier that you helped saved them ❤
Don’t quit- I’m sure your intervention made quite a difference to Pancake and Waffle and all the others. They didn’t die in pain and alone, they were comfortable and happy and loved and even if it was just for a little while, I don’t doubt it was appreciated. And keep in mind, keeping grocery store animals is still pretty new territory. You can’t blame it on yourself when they die.
Your doing a lot for animals that a lot of people view as simply as food, I for a fact enjoy seeing you give them a much better life then miserable short life they'll have in a pet store or grocery store. Also aquarium hobby is extremely expensive and stressful, so taking a break from it for awhile doesn't hurt either. :)
Please, never give up. You’re one of the good guys. There needs to be more of people like you who truly love snd want to care for our beloved creatures.
Grocery animals are prone to disease due to stress and overcrowding, even if you heal them, they can still suffer sequelae or be too weakened to survive for long. It's not your fault as an owner that's trying to revalorize their lives. It's the fault of the food industry that breeds them as a product, uncaring of their suffering. You're raising awareness about this, which is a good thing.
I know how it feels to have a animal die but I couldn't dwel on that you just have to keep going now matter what you still have plenty of animals what need you anyway rest in peace blueberry you will always be missed and remembered
Bro I've been away from internet for a while and see this. Never give up, I know it's sad to lose pets and it's always depressing and can discourage but it is the circle of life. They are flying high now. Never give up ♥
The next pet you have try to research about the lifespan of them. And get used to idea of them dying. Also as long you treat them well and not abuse them or neglected them everything is well
Please don't stop I know its difficult I've had many pets (mostly dogs) and most of them died from cancer please don't stop half a million people love your vids please consider continuing and stay strong
Bro you did an excellent job raising these grocery store animals. More importantly you took a lot of effort to save their lives. Honestly I was inspired by your hard work in these videos. Don’t give up. There are ways to learn how raise them to live longer.
I think as long as you're not taking animals from the wild, you're giving them a better life, even if it seems shorter than you'd like. I wonder how you filter the water, or if you check for ammonia and stuff? Anyway, I really like the grocery store series. :)
Just found your channel, losing pets it’s always so hard and it’s hard not to blame yourself- I had tree frogs that passed very unexpectedly- but I think what you’re doing for the animals is amazing and saving them from a cruel fate even if they’re not with you long keep ur head up!
Don’t quit! It’s not you, it’s just really hard to care for sea creatures in general, especially ones rescued from stores because the people that are selling them don’t take the best care of them! So there not really expected to live that long. You do great giving them the rest of there life in a safe place! Please don’t quit 🥺
its ok! you may get attached to it and it later dying but dont give up! they always have a place in our heart and your great at taking care of them! pls dont stop!
you give all these beautiful creatures the best quality of life ever. Know that they would have had no chance without you. I admire your true love for your companions...please do not give up...but if you need a break, take one;its good for healing through your grief....cheers from Canada
You should never give up.Its all natural causes and not your fault.You are an amazing pet keeper.Many youtubers have their pets die too so its not just u.You will get better at careing for them.Remember you rescueing them extends their life and u are helping them.
honestly there are so many ways in which animals from the animal food stores die bc they are kept in horrible conditions and they can get so many diseases from being kept in such close conditions but all this to say that you shouldn't give up and you should keep on trying and keep on making all of this wonderful content.
Don't quit! Remember that it's absolutely not your fault if an animal dies trying to molt or catches a disease; it's just how things go, and there's nothing you can do. In the meantime focus on the positives and give the animals the best care you can and everything will turn out fine. 1K Just Joshing Reply
Maybe you can contact Brady Branwood for advice, at least with aquatic animals? His lobster, Leon, is doing well and he came from a grocery store too. Sorry about Blueberry. Having a big heart means its working hard and is more likely to get sore. ;(
@JustJoshinghere Just a FYi if you are going to get crabs again. coral substrate under sand and you need a supply of calcium in the water cuttlefish plates and shells are a good source. Without that when crabs molt their new exoskeleton is not resilient enough and ruptures that is fairly common occurrence. If you ever go back to them this might help
Pets come and go in the pet trade and it's just a part of the hobby, don't let your love of animals fade because of your grieving. It's natural to grieve and take some time to take a break and then come back to the channel. Don't ever quit I love your videos and I went through similar experiences when I was younger raising fish and crustaceans and reptiles it happens, death is inevitable sometimes and you just have to be ready for that risk when getting any pet. I am a wildlife biologist and there's so many ways an animal can pass away its not your fault that they died you did everything you could to keep them alive and happy.
Please don’t quit I have been watching your videos and you have inspired me so please keep going and I know it’s sad that your pets died but maybe you can try a new pet like a snake because they live normally like 20 years so please don’t quit😊
A pet's death suck's a lot, but it's just part of life and the process of becoming a good pet owner. Please don't quit, we all love your videos and we want to support you all the way =)
Don’t let this discourage you. Animals usually have shorter lifespans and pets die. Anyone gets sad about animals. Keep pushing through the sadness. If you need a break that’s fine but don’t just quit. You don’t need to worry about others. Have a nice day
you should keep going even if they don't live long you give them a way better life than they would have ever had in a bait or grocery store, also nobody can get it right every time so don't feel bad about yourself you are a great person with a big heart that is full of compassion, we are here for you man
do not quit i love your videos and all ur cute animals and maybe take some time to just kinda think for a while thats what i do when im upset or mad well hope ur better
Poor Blueberry, at least he/she got the best life you could give him/her, I had a Hermit Crab named Hermitaur after the creature from Monster Hunter because i got him right before i got the Monster Hunter 2, Hermitaur died from similar issues, I feel your pain, please don't quit, your channel encouraged me to get Ebirah, my Crayfish I got from a store
Your love for these animals, and your inspiration for everyone who watches to appreciate the beautiful world we live in make it all worth it! You do great stuff and I'm grateful for your stuff!!
I have also a lot of animals. There is a lot of love and a lot of suffering when u have many animals. Sadly u cant save them all but at least u gave them a better time for a while. Keep it up 😉 don’t give up
Wow Josh, you are such an amazing person. After watching this video and first the one with Blueberry, I couldn’t help but to comment. Please don’t stop. I hope you create a mini pond for your crab’s outdoors giving them their natural habitat feel. Would love to see your next baby crab grow up to be an “Elderberry” crab lol😉😉💪✝️💐👍🤩🙏 GOD BLESS👍
Hey bro! Listen, if you feel that you need a break, take one! You should keep in mind that you shouldn’t get too many pets at a time, and too many of them dying could take a toll on your mental health. I am also sorry with the pancake, blueberry, and croissant situations. With that said, you may take a break if you feel you need to. We’re all here for you ❤❤❤
Don't quit remember everyone pets die before just don't quit keep doing what you love each day you spend with them is a best day for them everyone has problem before try harder you can do it we all love them and we all hope you can keep trying not just quit you can do this.
Sorry to hear it.Losing an animal is really hard.I have encountered it myself too. We pet owners need to be prepared for situation where our pet gets Born or gets a new home and they die.Death is a natural part of life.We need to be prepared for that day that our Animals will encounter,but we can't overthink about it too much.I was always saying to myself that quote: ,,Don't be sad ,because over. Be happy ,because it happened"
Never give up man your awesome with animals and everyone can see that you care things do happen and life spans are completely different with every animal as long as you do your best for them theres nothing you can do when there time comes other than comfort them my friend I'm sorry for what you feel tho I love animals to and am going through having to be ok with putting my best friend my dog down she's going on 18 tho and has lived a great life but shes weak and I have to hand feed/give water carry her down and back up the stairs to go outside it takes a good person to love all animals and your one of them buddy
You seem genuine and that you do care for animals. I would just say even if you make a small difference in their existence, keep it up. Sometimes it's part of caring for animals, especially exotic type animals. Some of them just aren't meant to live in captivity
You inspire young people to be creative and experimental with nature . ( It is actually important to teach people that death is part of nature and how fragile life is ) I'm 45 now , but you would have massively inspired me when i was young . Do what ever you decide , just make sure you are happy . :-)
Dont quit....you learn from them, you give them a better care than they would have recieved otherwise, and for them, dying early can happen all the time. Dont be discouraged man.
dont quit its not ur fault if your pets die its natural sometimes and you just gotta get a bit positive we love your content one time i almost gave up from basketball cuz my dribbling sucks and i joined back to be a pretty good player but im not in the NBA just keep this up giving up is never the answer
Please don’t quit! It ain’t your fault if they die! I’ve been seeing the over comments saying it’s hard to keep these pets of yours alive and I agree! Having my own little ecosystem it’s always worrying to keep control, and hey! It’s better than letting them get boiled alive. But it is your choice so I can’t stop you but I beg please don’t quit!
Please do not quit you always make my day with your cute animal vids! RIP blueberry he had a good life but blue crabs like blueberry only live 3 to 4 years so maybe he was already old, but its still sad he was a good crab:)
I have had the same problems in the past were one year was really ruff . I just want to tell you to keep moving forward and try to learn and expand your knowledge and one day it will pay off.
Thank you all so much for the encouraging and helpful comments. You all mean a lot to me and I read every single one. ❤
No problem 👍. We love seeing all that you do step by step 😄
Of course! I hope you make more in the future.
Thank you so much for hearting mine!
As long as you love animals I will always cheer you up!
use live plants and less artificial stuff inside the tanks, rocks and lots of plants to hide in . just do everything natural, live plants and no artificial stuff . keep it up tho man dont give up

As someone who has experienced a very similar pain recently, I can say that don't give up. It works, unfortunately, every good story has an end, and if you didn't own them, they would be on someone's dinner plate.
Totally understandable to feel discouraged and sad right now :( You care so much for your animals and even have lovingly taken care of animals that other humans meant for food. Whatever direction you go, you have my support!
Girl don’t worry too much about it! I don’t think grocery store animals have the best health due to the conditions they were born and raised in. You gave them a happy life before they have passed and that’s so kind, Im sure they were much happier that you helped saved them ❤
Don’t quit- I’m sure your intervention made quite a difference to Pancake and Waffle and all the others. They didn’t die in pain and alone, they were comfortable and happy and loved and even if it was just for a little while, I don’t doubt it was appreciated. And keep in mind, keeping grocery store animals is still pretty new territory. You can’t blame it on yourself when they die.
NOO!! Please dont quit, I love seeing your opposums and pets.
Please focus on good things and dont spend too much time getting many animals.
Don’t quit Josh. Find your strength in the animals you are still caring for!
I think you are doing an amazing job ❤ You are my favorite animal RUclipsr keep doing your amazing work❤ We’re here for you man
Your doing a lot for animals that a lot of people view as simply as food, I for a fact enjoy seeing you give them a much better life then miserable short life they'll have in a pet store or grocery store.
Also aquarium hobby is extremely expensive and stressful, so taking a break from it for awhile doesn't hurt either. :)
I'm so sorry Josh, you can't give up you have to have hope
Please, never give up. You’re one of the good guys. There needs to be more of people like you who truly love snd want to care for our beloved creatures.
Don't give up man I like watching your channel you have great content and your animals are very amazing. I hope you expand to bigger and better things
Grocery animals are prone to disease due to stress and overcrowding, even if you heal them, they can still suffer sequelae or be too weakened to survive for long. It's not your fault as an owner that's trying to revalorize their lives. It's the fault of the food industry that breeds them as a product, uncaring of their suffering. You're raising awareness about this, which is a good thing.
I know how it feels to have a animal die but I couldn't dwel on that you just have to keep going now matter what you still have plenty of animals what need you anyway rest in peace blueberry you will always be missed and remembered
Bro I've been away from internet for a while and see this. Never give up, I know it's sad to lose pets and it's always depressing and can discourage but it is the circle of life. They are flying high now. Never give up ♥
The next pet you have try to research about the lifespan of them. And get used to idea of them dying. Also as long you treat them well and not abuse them or neglected them everything is well
Pls don’t quit I enjoy ur vids and I know it’s hard to lose an animal it’s not ur fault just think positive 😊😊😊
Please don't stop I know its difficult I've had many pets (mostly dogs) and most of them died from cancer please don't stop half a million people love your vids please consider continuing and stay strong
Bro you did an excellent job raising these grocery store animals. More importantly you took a lot of effort to save their lives. Honestly I was inspired by your hard work in these videos. Don’t give up. There are ways to learn how raise them to live longer.
Listen man I know things are hard and sometimes those things happen you can't just let that make you give up you have to keep on going
I think as long as you're not taking animals from the wild, you're giving them a better life, even if it seems shorter than you'd like. I wonder how you filter the water, or if you check for ammonia and stuff? Anyway, I really like the grocery store series. :)
Just found your channel, losing pets it’s always so hard and it’s hard not to blame yourself- I had tree frogs that passed very unexpectedly- but I think what you’re doing for the animals is amazing and saving them from a cruel fate even if they’re not with you long keep ur head up!
Don’t quit!!! You give each and every pet you own a great life
That is the Cutest Coatimundi Ever!! you shoud try a reptile I have a Crsted gecko I think that is a Good reptile for you
Please Don't Quit! I Love All The Animals You Own, I Also Got A Pet Crab Recently And You Told Me How To Care It.
Don’t quit! It’s not you, it’s just really hard to care for sea creatures in general, especially ones rescued from stores because the people that are selling them don’t take the best care of them! So there not really expected to live that long. You do great giving them the rest of there life in a safe place! Please don’t quit 🥺
I’m so sorry !! It’s a sad thing when a pet dies. I hope you know that there’s thousands of people here to support you and want you to keep going
its ok! you may get attached to it and it later dying but dont give up! they always have a place in our heart and your great at taking care of them! pls dont stop!
you give all these beautiful creatures the best quality of life ever. Know that they would have had no chance without you. I admire your true love for your companions...please do not give up...but if you need a break, take one;its good for healing through your grief....cheers from Canada
You should never give up.Its all natural causes and not your fault.You are an amazing pet keeper.Many youtubers have their pets die too so its not just u.You will get better at careing for them.Remember you rescueing them extends their life and u are helping them.
honestly there are so many ways in which animals from the animal food stores die bc they are kept in horrible conditions and they can get so many diseases from being kept in such close conditions but all this to say that you shouldn't give up and you should keep on trying and keep on making all of this wonderful content.
i feel you keep having great adventures love watching you
Don't quit! Remember that it's absolutely not your fault if an animal dies trying to molt or catches a disease; it's just how things go, and there's nothing you can do. In the meantime focus on the positives and give the animals the best care you can and everything will turn out fine.

Im really sorry for your lost and i feel you its sad but pls don't quit we love your Videos and maybe other Friends can give your Tips stay strong man
Maybe you can contact Brady Branwood for advice, at least with aquatic animals? His lobster, Leon, is doing well and he came from a grocery store too.
Sorry about Blueberry. Having a big heart means its working hard and is more likely to get sore. ;(
Don’t give up I love your pets and videos 😭😭
@JustJoshinghere Just a FYi if you are going to get crabs again. coral substrate under sand and you need a supply of calcium in the water cuttlefish plates and shells are a good source. Without that when crabs molt their new exoskeleton is not resilient enough and ruptures that is fairly common occurrence. If you ever go back to them this might help
It’s natural for them to die and remember they had a happy life because of you, so don’t quit
Pets come and go in the pet trade and it's just a part of the hobby, don't let your love of animals fade because of your grieving. It's natural to grieve and take some time to take a break and then come back to the channel. Don't ever quit I love your videos and I went through similar experiences when I was younger raising fish and crustaceans and reptiles it happens, death is inevitable sometimes and you just have to be ready for that risk when getting any pet. I am a wildlife biologist and there's so many ways an animal can pass away its not your fault that they died you did everything you could to keep them alive and happy.
Please don’t quit I have been watching your videos and you have inspired me so please keep going and I know it’s sad that your pets died but maybe you can try a new pet like a snake because they live normally like 20 years so please don’t quit😊
A pet's death suck's a lot, but it's just part of life and the process of becoming a good pet owner. Please don't quit, we all love your videos and we want to support you all the way =)
Don’t let this discourage you. Animals usually have shorter lifespans and pets die. Anyone gets sad about animals. Keep pushing through the sadness. If you need a break that’s fine but don’t just quit. You don’t need to worry about others. Have a nice day
you should keep going even if they don't live long you give them a way better life than they would have ever had in a bait or grocery store, also nobody can get it right every time so don't feel bad about yourself you are a great person with a big heart that is full of compassion, we are here for you man
do not quit i love your videos and all ur cute animals and maybe take some time to just kinda think for a while thats what i do when im upset or mad well hope ur better
Well at least they get to pass while being loved and cared for instead of being boiled to death. Keep doing what you are doing we're rooting for you ❤
Poor Blueberry, at least he/she got the best life you could give him/her, I had a Hermit Crab named Hermitaur after the creature from Monster Hunter because i got him right before i got the Monster Hunter 2, Hermitaur died from similar issues, I feel your pain, please don't quit, your channel encouraged me to get Ebirah, my Crayfish I got from a store
Your love for these animals, and your inspiration for everyone who watches to appreciate the beautiful world we live in make it all worth it! You do great stuff and I'm grateful for your stuff!!
I have also a lot of animals. There is a lot of love and a lot of suffering when u have many animals. Sadly u cant save them all but at least u gave them a better time for a while. Keep it up 😉 don’t give up
Wow Josh, you are such an amazing person. After watching this video and first the one with Blueberry, I couldn’t help but to comment. Please don’t stop. I hope you create a mini pond for your crab’s outdoors giving them their natural habitat feel.
Would love to see your next baby crab grow up to be an “Elderberry” crab lol😉😉💪✝️💐👍🤩🙏
GOD BLESS👍
Hey bro! Listen, if you feel that you need a break, take one! You should keep in mind that you shouldn’t get too many pets at a time, and too many of them dying could take a toll on your mental health. I am also sorry with the pancake, blueberry, and croissant situations. With that said, you may take a break if you feel you need to. We’re all here for you ❤❤❤
Don't quit remember everyone pets die before just don't quit keep doing what you love each day you spend with them is a best day for them everyone has problem before try harder you can do it we all love them and we all hope you can keep trying not just quit you can do this.
Sorry to hear it.Losing an animal is really hard.I have encountered it myself too. We pet owners need to be prepared for situation where our pet gets Born or gets a new home and they die.Death is a natural part of life.We need to be prepared for that day that our Animals will encounter,but we can't overthink about it too much.I was always saying to myself that quote: ,,Don't be sad ,because over. Be happy ,because it happened"
Never give up man your awesome with animals and everyone can see that you care things do happen and life spans are completely different with every animal as long as you do your best for them theres nothing you can do when there time comes other than comfort them my friend I'm sorry for what you feel tho I love animals to and am going through having to be ok with putting my best friend my dog down she's going on 18 tho and has lived a great life but shes weak and I have to hand feed/give water carry her down and back up the stairs to go outside it takes a good person to love all animals and your one of them buddy
Whatever you do, I'm here for it. You're my favorite RUclipsr. Love you man.
Don’t be sad,it’s about the journey. You share you’re love with them and that’s all that matters.
Don’t let that make you fail it is not your fault we’re all ways with you ❤❤❤
Please dont quit just found you and you have done so much for these animals. You are such a caring human being. I wish everyone was like this.
You seem genuine and that you do care for animals. I would just say even if you make a small difference in their existence, keep it up. Sometimes it's part of caring for animals, especially exotic type animals. Some of them just aren't meant to live in captivity
Love what you do. And you can always take solace in the fact that you gave them better lives than they would have ever had if you hadn't intervened.
You inspire young people to be creative and experimental with nature . ( It is actually important to teach people that death is part of nature and how fragile life is ) I'm 45 now , but you would have massively inspired me when i was young . Do what ever you decide , just make sure you are happy . :-)
your just fine. you’re working with short lived animals. i just starting watching your in ventures and it’s affecting me surprisingly. Don’t quit.
Sorry for your loss bro.. God bless Merry Christmas too!! Just keep making content. youre funny and make great videos..
Dont quit....you learn from them, you give them a better care than they would have recieved otherwise, and for them, dying early can happen all the time. Dont be discouraged man.
dont quit its not ur fault if your pets die its natural sometimes and you just gotta get a bit positive we love your content one time i almost gave up from basketball cuz my dribbling sucks and i joined back to be a pretty good player but im not in the NBA just keep this up giving up is never the answer
Please don’t quit! It ain’t your fault if they die! I’ve been seeing the over comments saying it’s hard to keep these pets of yours alive and I agree! Having my own little ecosystem it’s always worrying to keep control, and hey! It’s better than letting them get boiled alive. But it is your choice so I can’t stop you but I beg please don’t quit!
Please do not quit you always make my day with your cute animal vids! RIP blueberry he had a good life but blue crabs like blueberry only live 3 to 4 years so maybe he was already old, but its still sad he was a good crab:)
Hey don’t quit yet man, i love watching ur videos, the way u care for them is just so wholesome
I have had the same problems in the past were one year was really ruff . I just want to tell you to keep moving forward and try to learn and expand your knowledge and one day it will pay off.
You could try to get a octopus if you want! They can live for a long time and they are always so fun to find in the morning❤😊
