Thank you both :)
@charbeenie the tapestry turbo (brown one) came with them! The green turbo is either from a mixed bag of turbos I got from Walmart or the dollar store. :)

I'm not that picky when it come to the bags of shells. :p if I can see 5-6 usable ones I usually take it since I'm Canada and that's a good deal. (12$ for a big bag, get 6 shells that's like 2$ each for the good ones, plus any that may be hiding from sight! You also get non usable ones for climbing and decor or to crush for calcium) However the best bag I ever got was a small bag from Walmart and I got something like 17 green turbos, 12 moon snail shells and a couple Babylonians for 7$. Every bag usually has those big flat ones too, they are good for feeding treats or in the bottom of pools!

I got some from Walmart (which I love all of the flat shells, I use a new set evey night for food). I normally buy the bags as is but I am looking for sizes other than the little ones and great big ones lol My Michaels only had the little ones and most of the shells were broken. I am going to try Joannas this weekend and a few dollar stores. I am going to crush up some of the other shells to give them to eat I did not know they would eat that

Congrats on the adoptions! They are SO CUTE! Those eyes, they just kill me. I seriously don't understand how anyone could ever meet a hermit crab's gaze and not think they're cute.
