jkslvr Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi, I woke up this morning, and am 99 percent sure a group of 3 hermits killed and ate one of my larger turbo snails. Should I leave the empty shell in for looks/ another crab to take? or get it out before the crabs kill more. Whats up here? thanks Link to comment
Lalani Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Maybe the snail died and they cleaned up the carcass. Leave the shell in if you want, doesn't matter. Edit: Make sure the hermits have extra shells to switch out when they grow, or they will go after snails. Link to comment
jkslvr Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sure Thanks, I have 2 spare shells in there, well 3 now. And I guess I will let the homicidal hermits go this time. Like you said maybe he was dead. Thanks Link to comment
Withers Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 What kind of hermits are they? If the answer is blue-legged, you're in for a rough ride. Link to comment
Bamboozle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd suspect the hermits. Mine would actively go out and hunt for snails. I started feeding them pellet food that drops down to the bottom and they don't see to bother the snails anymore. Although there's only 1 crab left. I wonder where the others went... Link to comment
AllXJ96 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, the bigger the blue legs get the worse they are, i had 2 that were killing snails that were in good health as well as other blue legs, they can be vicious, i ended up plucking the 2 big guys out lol and RIP. Link to comment
