Shell Changing

Post by MeowzTheKat » Mon Jul 10, 2017 10:45 pm

I am just curious as to if anyone else has any crabs that like to change shells a lot. I just got my two crabs about a week ago almost and my big guy immediately changed shells, into one good for his size, when we got him home, only to change into a shell too small a few days later and then changed back to his good sized one. And just tonight he changed into a different shell only to change right back into the shell he was in a few minutes prior. Anyone else have a crab that likes to do this?

All crabs have different personalities. Some just like to try on new "clothes" lol. This is totally normal.... I too have one that changes about every other day!
