Incorrect shells
Incorrect shells
Will crabs wear some shells that have been specified as incorrect by the shell guide? I have some trochus shells or strawberry tops in the bag of shells I got for Christmas but I am reluctant to offer those because they're on the avoid list.

Re: Incorrect shells
They can't fit their abdomens into trochus.

Re: Incorrect shells
Okay, thanks Wodesorel. I will continue to avoid those.
Re: Incorrect shells
Update: I threw those trochus shells away. They were not wearable for my hermits.

Re: Incorrect shells
No...don't throw shells away...donate them to a thrift shop or something so somebody can use them for crafts or something. Don't be wasteful!!crabby33 wrote:Update: I threw those trochus shells away. They were not wearable for my hermits.

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
Re: Incorrect shells
Okay, I got the shells out of the trash. I'm actually planning to give them to the girl who lives next door to me. The nearest thrift store is not within walking distance and I don't drive.
