Troubles finding big enough shells

Post by Brittany55 » Mon Jan 09, 2017 1:45 am

I live in Canada, and every pet store i've walks into has sold shells, but my biggest problem is all the shells they have are either painted or way too small for my crabs.. Anyone know anywhere i can possibly order online?

Wal-Mart sells bags of shells likeImage for about $9.95. I've always been able to find 6 or so usable shells in them and a lot of shells that can be used for crafts or regular decor. At all the Wal-Mart's around me, they're in the wedding decor section in the party decor. Craft stores also have similar bags, even some with only crab usable shells.
