) and active.The sign identified all of them as Purple Pinchers. I've read that PPs typically prefer turbo shells/shells with a rounder opening, but about a third were in murex shells or something similar with a 'D' shaped opening. Is that just because of what was available to them, or do some actually prefer that type when given the option?
I'm setting up the crabitat before actually getting crabs, and want to buy the right type and size of shells before bringing them home, in case they want to change right away. I'm willing to guesstimate and get a variety of sizes, but I'd prefer to not buy one of everything that exists.
The four biggest ones were in shells a little smaller than a tennis ball. There were also a few about golf ball size, and some about quarter size. (this is all from only looking into their space, the store was too understaffed for us to request a close-upview/measurement).
About what size of shell would each of those crabs need, or do I really need to get an actual measurement? And do they need some with 'D'-shaped openings or is it fine to get only 'O' ones?
Thanks in advance!
