crabs switching shells

Post by user123456 » Tue Mar 01, 2022 1:17 am

my crabs have been going back and forth through shells. none of them is the right size so I had to order more. they come in like a week so I just have to wait. one of the shells is too heavy but it is the only right size so Cheech was in there but he kept switching with his old one. Chong is switching between his and Cheech's old one lol.
bowls are for food, not fish

I just got 3 crabs, the one we call Violet, switched shells three times the first day in the new tank.
First, it was too heavy,
Then it was too big, and I guess the third was just right.
