Shell suggestions

Post by Sketeerbug » Mon Oct 30, 2017 9:08 pm

Hey guys! I'm just getting back into crabbing and new here as a member. I had some as a kid and loved them! I adopted 2 that were living in a small critter keeper, who now reside in a much better house (both shell and crabitat!) And i just adopted one that had a nice place, but I'm gonna add him in with thw other two. I am stumped on what size shells to offer him, since hes so much bigger! His leg span about 3 to 3.5 inches. Any suggestions on size and where to buy them without paying an arm and a leg!! The pic is of the new guy!

Hello! Welcome to the HCA! :)

Beautiful hermit! Check out the shopping resources page to the left of this post under navigator :) I love richard's shells. Also check out the shell guide :) viewtopic.php?f=24&t=92552

I've also heard ebay and etsy have great shells. Boil first in dechlorinated fw, then dip in dechlorinated msw. :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
