FunkyFish Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 My hermit crab molted and is still in his original shell. How does one know when to place a replacement shell for good old Hermi. Link to comment
surfy Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Just throw a few shells in and he will move when its time. I had a hermit that stayed in one small shell for over a year. He was a hitch hiker so I didn't have any other shells for it. Anyways I finaly got a few shells and threw them in. He moved and then started molting to fit the larger shell. Link to comment
Jim J Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I put about 3 Lbs of Garf Grunge Plus in my tank, has lots of little shells in it. When I added my 5 blue legs, they all traded in their shells. It looked like a used car lot! all these crabs test driving different shells. If they didn't like one, they would try another. I had to laugh when one got into a big ole caddy after trading in his sub compact only to find he couldn't drag it up the LR, so he went back to try another. Throw a few shells in there with em and watch how quick, and how often, they change out. *After reading this, I realized I need to get a life Link to comment
FunkyFish Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Sounds Funny. I have the same life. I guess he will have to settle for a Honda. Link to comment
