And as hermias_mom said before, Naples is a really good supplier for shells, I'm in Australia and I recently got my order that I made from them and the quality is great! Check it out, they will each need 3-5 shells around the same size or slightly larger than them, but more never hurts.Hermias_mom wrote:sasha2 wrote:well she didnt take the shell, I went down and it was empty.

Sorry to hear that she didn't take the shell.At least you tried. I'm sure she had some fun investigating it. Maybe she'll change her mind later. Sometimes they're funny like that. BTW, it's great that they're eating the food!
For a while I used to take calipers shopping. It was harder than I expected to judge the size of a shell compared to what my crab was currently wearing. Now I judge based on the size of my finger in the opening.
Amazon also sells the Instant Ocean sea salt for about the same price as Walmart I think. And Walmart can do a ship to store a lot of times.
If you have a saltwater aquarium shop (aka reef or reefer shop) in your town or in any surrounding areas they should have a lot of great things for use with the crabs. I get some of my larger turbos from a reef shop. They use mexican turbo snails (no idea what the correct name is, but it's a mexican turbo shell they've got) to clean the saltwater aquarium tanks, and the oldest snails often have shells with about 1" to 1.25" openings when they pass away. My crabs are just starting to grow into those.
Good luck!
