I was planning to take him back to the beach today , he had survived a week with me which included escaping from his bowl , a long drop and trotting under the kitchen table , not being trodden on or eaten by the dog !
When I started to clear out the home I had made for him I got a real shock when a bigger Charlie emerged from amongst the stones .I couldn't believe how much he had grown , he had shed his old crab shell in the night !
You can see new Charlie in the picture above top leftand below .
So I have been back to the beach , here is Charlie on some seaweed near the rockpools .The tide was going out and we made sure he was settled and well hidden with the shell I accidently brought him home in .
Back where he belongs .....

Yay for Charlie - I love happy endings. Maybe Charlie liked it at your house, with free food and accomodations. I'd love to know what Charlie thinks of being plunked back at the sea lol.

Charlie is a lucky crab! How fun for him to have a small vacation, and you to have an interesting visitor!

I'm so glad he is back in his own habitat. How special that you got to see him in his new clothes.

Dear Louise,
sorry for not having been much online recently and therefore not having commented on your lovely stories about i.e. Charlie. What a happy ending! Recently I've looked after a female duck, coming to our garden, and who was sick. She's fine now, too; it makes me so happy!
All the best from Lone
