HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Cool. How do you get them interested in the shell shop? Mine don't even know it exists.

I'd recommend finding more turbos. (Not gold mouthed.)

Great picture! Thanks for sharing.

Hi. about a week ago I went through the wearable shell list and realised that most of my shells are unsuitable for my hermits. I made an order at the Naples seashell company and ordered 16 new shells (I made sure that the ones that I ordered are not gold mouthed). I ordered a lot of turbo shells in varying sizes, so hopefully when the order arrives, my hermits will be interested in the new shells.

I thought it was Toast! I recognised him from the picture of him and Venus. So sweet.
